    Default All Tables Scale Down After Edith Table Styles

    Am new to Civil3D and using Civil3D 2018 and have Question on Tables.

    I open a drawing with tables of different table styles. I pick a table just to play with it, right-click and select Edit Table Styles in the menu.
    Half the times, after closing the opened table, without changing anything in it, and escape, all the tables will scale down to about one quarter
    size of their original sizes. Though when I Undo, they come back to normal.

    What's happening here?

    Thanks.

    Are you putting your table in paperspace? Tables are annoying with scales, what I am guessing you are seeing is a table scaling up or down based on you zooming in and out, if not in paperspace then in an unlocked viewport. Every time your scale changes the table adjusts based on the settings of the table style in regards to title height, header height, data height. In paperspace there isn't any scale, but zooming in and out causes issues.

    The way I handle tables is simple: Create your table in modelspace (throw it off to the side wherever) and create a separate viewport that looks at it, lock it, regen, and adjust the viewport as necessary. After that if your table is too big you can go into the style and adjust the settings as necessary. The table should not continue scaling up and down if it's in a locked viewport where the scale isn't changing.
