CE-u1 Tables Seed file line weights elements.

David,

Un-related to your question but is that a CE table? If so how did you change the line weight of the text inside the tables it's stuck at 0 in every field I look at and haven't found a way to change it.

Yes it is a CE Table.  After you create the table you can edit cell boundary properties.  Its kind of flakey so you have to play with it a bit.  I found it best to start on the inside and work your way out.  I.E.  First columns then title rows then headers and footers, then the final boundary.  I set all of this up in a seed table and it replicates except additional column rows don't get set properly.

That only effected the boarder around the cells when i was playing with it. I couldn't get it to actually effect the text itself like you can with raw text placed on a drawing who's line weight can be changed to 0, 1, 2, 3, 4... etc. The font we use is worthless at line weight 0 and not very visible.

Grant, Sorry I miss read your message.  Thought you were asking about line weights for cell.    For fonts I'm using

Ahh okay we switched exclusively to RomanS or other AutoCAD fonts 5-6 years ago because we were tired of translation errors and text getting bigger or smaller when it had to get re-mapped. Have you had any success or failure with translating to AutoCAD ? Sadly our office is still on Win7 so i'm not sure this actually fixes things even if it does but it might be a long term fix.

Using vendor stick fonts between software packages has always been a pain. Thats why I switched everything over to Truetype Fonts some years ago.  They are the same for all packages.  Just starting using the Verdana Pro series.   Its nice to get compress text without mucking around with the Height to Width ratios.
