Introduction
The FlexiTable™ settings file provides a flexible way of defining your table dimensions. You can specifiy the header, row and footer heights and some other settings to adjust the appearance of the table.
Dimension Editor
The Dimension tab of the Settings Editor dialog lets you modify the dimensions the header, row and footer sections.
Section Heights
There is a separate height setting for each section of the table …
- Header
- Row
- Footer
The height is specified in the master units of the current DGN model.
Cell Padding
Cell Padding provides a buffer or margin between the table's text and the boundary of its cell. If cell padding is zero, then text abuts the grid lines with no intervening space. When cell padding is set to some small value the text is spaced by that distance from the grid lines, which is visually more appealing.
Table and Column Widths
You can specify the width of the table and its columns in various ways …
- Independent
- Automatic
- Table Width
Independent
Independent means that each column width is the same and is set in the Width field. The overall table size is that width multiplied by the number of columns.
Table
Table Width means that you are specifying the overall table width in the Width field. Each column has the same width and is obtain by dividing the table width by the number of columns.
Automatic
Automatic means that FlexiTable computes the width of each column by examining the data in each row of that column. It finds the longest text in all rows and sets the column width according to the length of that text. The overall table size is the sum of all column widths.
The computation uses the metrics of the text style assigned to table rows. The Width field is not used when Automatic is chosen.
Sub Total Row
The facility for creating sub-totals is not currently implemented.
3D Table
The facility for creating 3D tables is not currently implemented.
