JoeyG_77 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Help please .... I have created a table and i am hoping to keep it at its exact size. The problem is that once i types too much text into a cell it will automatically resize the cell& table even when its locked . I was wondering if there is a way to prevent it from automatically resizing. Thanks Joey G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I would think if it is re-sizing, that there isn't enough room for the text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyG_77 Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 Thats the whole thing if there isn't enough room i will shrink the size of the text but i need the overall size of the table to stay the same because its part of my title block so its a pain to keep fixing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I would not take that approach. Text should not be made smaller just because it doesn't fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyG_77 Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 Regaurdless i still need the table to stay the same size .. is there a way to lock it in size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I don't know. If I don't have enough room in a table, I want it to get bigger. I wouldn't put a table in a title block. I would use attributes and lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coketrivium Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I've been struggling with the same problem as Joey. There has got to be a way to fix this. Someone please help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nod684 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 what I know if you select Content and Format Locked you will not be able to add anymore text in it and it will not resize Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Use an XREF instead of a table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufuss Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 If you resize or shrink the width of the text before you exit the text editor it will work. Once you exit the text editor the cells seem to resize to fit the text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagwinn Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I understand your reply that you do not want to use FIT for your text, but it is a drafting option that appeared in hand-drawn sheets in mechanical drafting in the past.
