Tables and Named Plot Styles

[james.emoore]

Is there a way to assign a plot style to a specific cell in a table? I cannot find one or am being really dense. :shock:

Looking at the options, you can change the color of a cell's contents by creating a new "cell style"; however, that doesn't help if you not using color based plotting. Looking through the available options, it appears that the only way to highlight a cells contents (by changing the text and not the formatting of the cell border) is to create an alternate text style.

If I'm wrong, please let me know. If I'm correct, please let me know so I can add this to the Wishlist.

Thanks

try this : create a new "cell style" under borders pick a thicker lineweight. then change all hightlighted cells to new style if you plot by lineweight and not color that should work.

P.S. since you mentioned new cell style I assume you are in at least 2008.

Thanks, I can see how that would work if my plot styles were similar to the AEC styles that contoled screen level, but left the lineweights to the objects; however, I haven't gotten our CAD Manager to make that jump yet. Our lineweights are controlled by the named plot style (Thin, Medium, Heavy, etc) based on the AIA STB files that ship with Autocad Architecture.

Any other suggestions?
