Number Formatting in Table

[eamanns]

Is there a way to format numbers in an AutoCad table that will give me the total length from station to station (100+00 to 150+00). Each station is in a separate cell with the subtraction formula in a third cell. In excel you can do a special format on numbers. I have not been able to find anything in Auto Cad that will do this.

Any suggestions?

I don't know what version of Autocad you have or exactly what format you want (I assume 0+50.00 which i have not been able to create) but if you have Autocad 2007 or 2008 (maybe 2006 too) then

1) create a table then pick your cells (use shift and control key to select multiple cells), right click, then pick format

or

2) pick cells and hit properties icon and change data type, format, precision, and additional format properties.
