Editing a schedule in AutoCAD, which is typically represented by a table object, involves interacting directly with the table cells and structure. Here's how you can make changes:
To edit the content within a schedule in AutoCAD, you can directly interact with the cells and columns of the table object representing the schedule.
Editing Schedule Cells and Columns
Modifying a schedule involves changing the text, numbers, or values in individual cells, or selecting entire columns for broader edits or formatting.
Editing Individual Cells
The most common way to change information is by editing a single cell.
- To edit a cell, click in it.
- Once selected, you can either choose a value from a predefined list if one is available for that cell type, or simply enter text or numbers directly.
Selecting Columns
Sometimes you need to select an entire column to apply formatting or perform other actions.
- To select a column, click a column index (the alphabetical cells between the title and header). These index cells are typically labeled A, B, C, etc., similar to a spreadsheet program.
Adding Multiple Lines of Text in a Cell
If you need to include multiple lines of text within a single cell, you can add carriage returns (line breaks).
- To enter carriage returns in a text cell, press Shift+Enter. This allows you to format text within a cell across several lines for better readability.
Here’s a quick summary of basic editing actions:
| Action | How to Perform in AutoCAD Schedule (Table) |
|---|---|
| Edit Cell Content | Click in the cell, type or select value |
| Select a Column | Click the alphabetical column index |
| Add New Line in Cell | Press Shift+Enter within the cell |
By using these straightforward methods, you can easily update the information and structure of your schedules within AutoCAD drawings.
