Bill of Materials
Let’s format the created table. The columns width was set automatically when inputting the text based on the
size of the input paragraph text. (When using the multiline text, the width is set by default). The width of
each column must be changed according to the width of the columns in the BOM title block. The height of
the template rows must be equal or (for multiline records) a multiple of the distance between the horizontal
grid lines in the title block.
Select the whole table by clicking or with the following option on the main toolbar (button set “Text”):
- Select Table
Then, using the option , call the paragraph
parameters dialog box. The parameter “Between
(interval)” should be assigned the value “Exactly” and
the numerical value equal to the height of the rows in the
title block table (in this example - 8). Press the [Ok]
button to close the dialog box.
The height of the table rows should be changed
accordingly, and the border display should be turned off.
To do this, keep the table highlighted and call the option
on the main toolbar (button set “Text”):
- Table Properties
On the “Row” tab, set the following row parameters: the
row height, as well as the line spacing interval, is set
equal to the distance between the horizontal grid lines in
the title block. The parameter “Mode” should be assigned
the value “Multiple”. This allows increasing the height of
the rows with long entries in the table so that they exactly
match the rows of the title block.
Additionally, one can set the parameter “Allow wrap”.
This will allow prolonging the BOM table on the next
page.
Since the BOM table grid is defined by the title bar, the display of the template table border lines should be
turned off. To do this, on the tab “Borders” of the same dialog box clear the respective flags. Upon
confirming the entered changes, the system returns to the BOM editing mode.
Keep calling the same dialog box for each separate cell in the template table, setting the desired width of
each cell in the “Cell” tab, along with text offsets from the beginning and the end of the cell, if necessary.
Besides, one can set horizontal justification mode for various table cells, and force no-line-break for the text,
using the automenu option .
Table creation and editing capabilities are described in details in the chapter “Text”.
