Close.

1 character height = 10 mm (5 mm character height + 2.5 mm top margin + 2.5 mm bottom margin)

1 character = 5mm, margins and spacings = 1/2 character

2 character height = 17.5 mm (2 x 5 mm character height + 2.5 mm top margin + 2.5 mm bottom margin + 2.5 mm spacing)

Just remember character height for the table does not change if the drawing options are changed and the drawing units measurement will always be measure by the units in the drawing options.

Hopefully this has not confused you, but I think you are getting the idea.

The relationship between characters and actual height is based on the default text height (for the drawing or format) at the time of table creation.  See this reply from several years ago for a complete explanation. Scaling a created table

Hello Tom,

Thank you for this link. This would help me to find out row height based on number of characters in a filled table.

I would like to know relation between Row Height and Row height in number of characters. Table is not filled and would not get details of number of characters. Hope I have not misunderstand your point. If I misunderstood, Please elaborate more on your calculation.

Regards

Ketan

The row height is based on the height of the default character height.  My default character height is 4 mm.  The row height is 8 mm to allow 2 mm of margin.  A row height of 2 characters is 14 mm - 8 mm character height, 2 mm margin top and bottom and 2 mm between rows.

There is always more to learn.

I am not sure whether I am confused or not. But, I would like to extend my query as below:

Please find attached file for reference. If I know value 3, How can I say that other value is 0.2?

Regards

Ketan,

Creo offers two option for height setting. User chooses one of them and sets its value. Creo then automatically calculates the value belonging to the second option. Values are interdependent !
