Question

Content aware table size

The width/height handling for tables in a drawing is extremely stiff and slow. 

 

Is it possible to make the table rows, columns and/or cells to grow dynamically based on the amount of content (eg text)? This would for example be handy for description and material columns in a BOM-table, the description column in a revision table or unassigned text boxes. 

 

If not, I'll post it as an idea... 🙂

 

A related idea regarding dynamic text size is already posted, but I don't see it as a good solution as the text would become unreadable once it's below a certain size:

Even though this video is meant as a help/guide/tutorial, it also shows the heavy amount of clicking and trial and error before the table actually get the necessary size for the text within it:

And in case the text is changed, you have to redo it all again...
