We're now going to utilize the AutoCAD Table Command. Now you may recognize this drawing from previous exercises, we used it in the Multileader Exercise to put Multi Liters on the drawings for our Rooms Table there on the drawing. We're going to create a new table though and its going to be a Furniture and Cost Table. So we go to our Annotate Tab here and there's our Tables Panel here and we want a New Table Style. Now the good thing is our Rooms Table Style is still there, I can utilize that. So what I'm going to do, when I click on New I can start with either the Rooms Table or the Standard Table as a template, I select Rooms Table and what I'm going to do is I'm going to call it My Furniture Table like so. So that's My Furniture Table Style, I click on Continue and the good thing is that style is exactly what I want. I've got a Title, I've got Headers, I don't need to edit any of that database if I did need to edit any of that data, for example there's my Data Settings there. I go to text I might want a different font, something like say the Times New Roman Font there. Notice it changes in the preview. Let's do that for each one. So I do Header, I change that there to Times New Roman and then also for the title I click on there, text again, I change the text style to TNR, Times New Roman. I then click on OK. So I have my New Table Style available. I'm going to click on Furniture Table, click on Set Current and Close to make it my new table style. Now if you wanted to create your own Table Style you would use that Table Style Manager to generate your own style. Now I want to place that table onto the drawing. So the good thing is it'll replicate this table here because there is already an existing style in the drawing. So I click on Table now and it gives me the option using my Furniture Table Style here to insert a table. Now I'm not going to start from an empty table here or I am? Of course I am. What I can do though, I can link to data, I can link to Excel Spreadsheets for example. But I'm going to just start from an empty table. Now I'm going to specify my Insertion Point on the drawing here, number of columns I need 3. And the good thing is because I utilize my previous table style, my Rooms Table, it remembers the column width, column width of 3,000 if fine, it's a metric drawing in millimeters. So that will be 3 meters in Model Space, full size. Data Rows, I'm going to go with 5 at the moment and see how I go, if I need more I can add. So first row cell style is Title which is what we need. Second row cell style is Header and the all other row cell styles will obviously be Data. I click on OK now, there's my table ready to come into the drawing, what I might do there is I might actually hover over that point there and just drag it a little bit to the right like that and left click and there's my table. If I just pan down a smidge there and zoom in so I can see what I'm doing it's ready and you can see the cursor flashing there. So I need to type in now Furniture Table, notice the font is different and if I press Tab now it tabs me down to the next cell in the table. So what I'm going to do now is I'm going to type Furniture Type in that one, if I hit Tab, number of like so and then Tab again and then Cost like that. I then Tab and all I'm going to do here is I'm not going to do all of them I'm just going to put as many as I can into this table. So I'm going to put 2 Cedar Sofa in there. Number of I know that there's 1 and I Tab again and the Cost of that will 310.00, Tab again, 3 Seater Sofa and I'm just typing away here and as you can see I'm putting one of those in as well and the cost of that will 510.00. I'm now going to put a desk in there, Tab, there's going to 1 of those and the Cost of that is going to be 60.00 and then I Tab again and a chair, Tab again, 1 of those and the Cost of that will be 20.00. And then last but not least what I'm going to put in there as well is a table, so I'm basically doing everything that's in the lounge area. So that's our Coffee Table there, there's 1 of those and the Cost of that let's say, I don't know, 150.00 let's say. Now notice as soon as I Tab again it puts a new row in for me which is fantastic, that's exactly what I need because what I want to do is Cost Up all of these bits of furniture. So what I can do now is if I just close the Text Editor here, its now created a table for me. What I'm going to do is I'm going to click on there and then I'm going to drag over here like that and it highlights both of those cells. What I'm going to do is I'm going to merge those cells up here, notice its gone to table on the ribbon, it goes into Table Edit Mode automatically, I merge those cells and if I click on the little Down Arrow there I merge those cells by row,. If I hit escape now you'll see that look I've got one space there. If I double click now there's my text again, I want to justify that to the right here. So justification and the Paragraph Tab there, I want to go to the right, so I want middle right, so you see my cursor move and that's going to be totals like so. I then close the Text Editor again here. Now I need to add the cost in here into this cell here. So I click once, notice now on the Insert Panel here I've got FX, Function or Formula, I'm in the Table Tab again, so I click on here on the Down Arrow on Formula and I Sum and all I do now is I left click and drag over the ones I want to sum and as you can see now it puts a Sum in there just like in Microsoft Excel. So if I now close the Text Editor it adds those up for me because it's a formula it has that little bit of gray background masking.
