Greetings everyone ..

i have a tables inserted to autocad from excel and these tables are locked for editing ... is there a method to unlock these tables and remove their data links using lisp routine ?

thanks for reading

best regards..

I have found a few lisps on the net (because I rarely use tables my self) and combined them but its slow ...

Rlx you have to wrap it like this:

(vla-put-RegenerateTableSuppressed ACADTableObj :vlax-true)
; < Manipulate the table here >
(vla-put-RegenerateTableSuppressed ACADTableObj :vlax-false)

Rlx you have to wrap it like this:

Makes sense Grrr , don't (didn't) know any of these commands but they are self explanatory.
I have updated code above.

No problem, I didn't knew about this either so I had to wait 5 minutes to generate a sorted room table for 90 different rooms, until one day I learned about this on the forums from Lee or Tharwat (don't really remember who was), and now its immediately created or manipulated. So shout outs to them!

Thank you Lee / Tharwat / Grrr

Thank you guys.

thank you all ... your contributions are greatly appreciated ... thanks again

(vla-put-RegenerateTableSuppressed ACADTableObj :vlax-false)

this is The Missing Piece Puzzle that solved a lot of table processing functions that i made before ... thanks ,Grrr
