Table Styles

Command: TABLESTYLE

The appearance of a table is controlled by a table style. Each drawing contains the Standard table style, which cannot be deleted. You can modify the Standard table style to fit your needs or create your own table styles. Table styles are created and edited in the Table Styles category of the Drawing Explorer dialog.

In a table there are 3 cell types: Data, Header and Title. Each cell type has its own cell style settings. By default all cells in a row share the same cell style settings, but you can edit the settings of each cell afterwards.
