Description
This enhancement supports the creation of simple tables in Model-Based Definition (MBD).
You can now create tables in MBD that can be placed on any annotation plane or set as flat-to-screen. The tables can be assigned to combination states like other supported annotations.
You can create a table in MBD using these methods:
• Use the table grid or the Insert Table command—Select the desired number of rows and columns when creating an empty table.
• Retrieve a table from an existing file—Retrieve predefined tables from supported file formats such as *.CSV, *.XLSX (Excel spreadsheet) or *.tbl files.
• Insert a table from the Quick Tables gallery—In the gallery, you can preview system-defined and user-defined tables. Search and pin the relevant table to be placed in the model.
After a table is selected using any of the above options, it becomes attached to the cursor. You can then choose the desired placement location for the table in the MBD model.
Benefits
The tables in MBD provide a quick and easy way to add and organize the engineering data in a tabular form.
Additional Information
Tips: | The default path from which the user-defined tables are retrieved can be defined using the pro_table_dir config.pro option. |
Limitations: | Currently, Creo does not support tables with repeat regions. When you place a table with repeat regions, a message appears in MBD, and the table is placed as a simple table. |
Does this replace existing functionality? | No. |
Configuration option associated with this functionality: | None. |
