To Create Tables Using Quick Tables Gallery
The Quick Tables gallery is a collection of tables available for quick selection and insertion. The Quick Tables gallery displays two categories of tables: User Tables and System Tables.
User tables refer to tables corresponding to the .tbl file stored in the directory specified by the value defined in the pro_table_dir configuration option. If you do not set the value for the pro_table_dir configuration option, the user tables are loaded in the quick tables gallery from the working directory or workspace.
 |
If there are no .tbl files that represent user tables, then the corresponding area in the quick tables gallery is not displayed.
|
System Tables refer to tables corresponding to the .tbl files stored in the <creo_loadpoint>/text/table directory.
