Topic: Tablestyle border

[gerstal82]

Hello to all,

I want to make a table with round borders, is this possible? or is there a workaround?
See attachment for example.

Thanks in advance

Greetings Gerard.

Though I am no expert on Tables, we do use them alot.

I have 'played' with the different settings and haven't seen a way to make curved corners.

I would be suprised if there is a way, but we'll see if anyone else can post a way.

Sorry, not a doable dealio.

If I were to recreate that, as if I -had- to have a table that looked like that, I'd probably create a dynamic block.

You could have the _TITLE_ cell stretchable with a grip, left or right, with a XY Array for the _DATA_ cells with the horizontal grip linked to the _TITLE_ cell stretch grip (or the other way around, more likely) and the vertical grip to array downward to create more rows.

As for filling in the text, that would suck.  If the # of cells doesn't change, you could use attributes and fill it out that way... but I have no idea what would happen if you tried to 'add' attribute via a dynamic array.  At best, I think you'd get copies of the last row you tried to copy, at which point, it'd be a PITA to figure out which one you were editting, as they'd all have identical tags/descriptions... but doable.

That's my best stab at a workaround...

Can you have a table with no borders?
If yes then have the DB as James mention or create a lisp to draw the borders.
A two step process I know but certainly beats creating it from scratch all the time.

Yes you can make one with no borders - Good idea.

It's still a funky way of doing it, but it should look okay in the end.

Cool.
What I think tables need is the ability to turn on/off a background mask much like dimensions and text.
