Topic: Why is this table merged?

[nobody]

For some reason this creates a table with the cells merged. Anyone know how I can fix it?

Code - C#: [Select]

1. using Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices;
2. using Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices;
3. using Autodesk.AutoCAD.EditorInput;
4. using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Geometry;

21.             tb.TableStyle = db.Tablestyle;
22.             tb.SetSize(1, 5);
23.             tb.SetRowHeight(3);
24.             tb.SetColumnWidth(3);
25.             tb.Position = mypoint;
26.  
27.             // Create a 2-dimensional array
28.  
29.             // of our table contents

48.  
49.                 }
50.             }

52.             tb.GenerateLayout();
53.  
54.             Transaction tr = doc.TransactionManager.StartTransaction();
55.  
56.             using (tr)

59.                 BlockTable bt = (BlockTable)tr.GetObject(doc.Database.BlockTableId, OpenMode.ForRead);
60.                 BlockTableRecord btr = (BlockTableRecord)tr.GetObject(bt[BlockTableRecord.ModelSpace], OpenMode.ForWrite);
61.                 btr.AppendEntity(tb);
62.                 tr.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(tb, true);

I don't see any where in your code that you are adding new columns to the table, tb.InsertColumns().

[ChrisCarlson]

I would guess the issue is with the tb.SetSize, what happens if you use tb.NumRows and tb.NumColumns?

You are creating a Table with just one row. Your Tablestyle is set to have a Title and to merge the cells in the Title row. Change the table to have 2 rows and give the first cell the Title. Be sure to adjust the value of i to i-1 when filling in the columns.

Thank you.
