MText Attributes in a Bill of Material

Maybe you could post a copy of the dwg with everything deleted but the table.

I tried to upload the file, but I keep getting an error and will not allow me. I'm not sure why. I've uploaded a couple of items before so I am not near capacity. Any thoughts?

I'll try to add the file from my home computer.

Try the Basic Uploader.

Ha...that worked! Thanks. Not sure if it's my computer, but the Basic Uploader does not always appear.

You've applied property overrides to the table. Therefore, when you insert a new row, it gets the style defaults and appears different than the cells you've overridden. Select the table, right click and choose "Remove property overrides" to see what the style looks like. Then modify the table style to get it to look the way you want. One property that is overridden that I see is Text Alignment. The style has TopCenter and you've overridden it to MiddleCenter.

Thanks Ed...that was it. I never got to use tables before so I am trying to apply them more as I work. There are still some aspects of tables that I don't like so it may just take time to get used to.

Thanks M. Kubitza. I was able to create my own BOM block. I struggled with getting the text to move along with the borders, but I was able to get it to work finally. Now I'm just going to try more of them to hopefully get a good understanding.

Thanks everyone for your help.
