copy single row of a table

[designerstuart]

hi all

 

i have a table on loads of drawings which all require a new row with the same contents (it's a revision box with the date, issue no. etc)

 

when it was simple lines and text i could just copy with base point and drop it into each one - but if i copy a row from the table the whole table is copied.

 

is there a way to just copy one row from a table and add it onto the last line of tables in other drawings?

 

thanks

Not directly that I know of. Try this.

In the source table, select the contents (not the table's outside frame) and hit Ctrl+C. In the destination table, Insert a new row below the bottom one, then select the leftmost cell of the new row and hit Ctrl+V. This should paste the contents into the second table.

yeah thanks i'd got that far, just wondered if there was a way to 'merge' rows or tables without getting into the content. seems like the old lines and text has it advantage!

There is a way to copy/paste a single row of a table, but it pastes as a new table.

 

Select the row as shown below. Keep the left mouse button pressed as you draw the selection window:

 

 

Once selected it will look like this:

 

 

Right-click to copy:

 

 

Hit escape, as to successfully paste the copied row, you must not have anything selected. Right-click and paste the row into your drawing:

 

 

Hope this helps.

thanks bonehead, but i wanted a way that made it part of the destination table. appreciate the help though!
