Why KozMos AutoTableX

  What KozMos AutoTableX can do for you
กก         KozMos AutoTableX can really simplify the procedure on table works in AutoCAD because many intermediary steps can be reduced and done by the product automatically and effectively. This brings AutoTableX to be one of the most powerful applications manipulating tables in AutoCAD.
        The following will show what AutoTableX can do in different programmable table-similar work situations:
  • Convert a drawn table into AcDbTable:
        AutoTableX can directly convert an existing drawn table into AcDbTable without a middle media of Excel. Most non-AutoTableX solutions will use Excel as a intermediary program: Drawn table will be transferred into Excel first, then the data can be transferred from Excel into AutoCAD by system Copy+Paste special command. As we have discussed, the created AcDbTable may still need further manually modification.
        Using AutoTableX may need not any further AutoCAD operation and Excel as intermediary, even the table size, column width and row height will match the size from the source drawn table.
  • Convert an AcDbTable into Excel:
        A .CSV file is needed to convert an AcDbTable into Excel, and the cells' merge information may lost in Excel. This is only an one-way conversion, data changed in Excel can not be synchronized back into AutoCAD. To create a new AcDbTable from Excel may be the only reasonable solution.
        Using AutoTableX may enable the data synchronization between Excel and AcDbTable. The AcDbTable cells' merge information will be passed into Excel as same as in AutoCAD. No data will be lost and no further complex operation is needed.
        During the conversion, all math functions can be recorded between AcDbTable and Excel.
  • Modify a drawn table via run-time Excel:
        Plenty operation on an existing drawn table may become more simple via AutoTableX. Not only the contents, but also the cell background color and text color can be changed in Excel. If the source drawn table does not contain cell background, AutoTableX can add the correct background color while the synchronization procedure from from Excel back to AutoCAD. Add Colored background may make the drawn tables to be more beautiful.
        Some Excel features in filling contents may be used to modify existing drawn table in AutoCAD if it can be imported into Excel and support a data synchronization back. AutoTableX just can fit this requirement and al these features can be used to modify old AutoCAD drawn tables. 

Our time saved while processing AcDbTables:
        KozMos AutoTableX provide so many powerful commands helping AutoCAD users manipulating on AcDbTables:

  • Combine/Split AcDbTable:
        An existing AcDbTable can be split into two AcDbTables just by picking the split border line.
        Two and more AcDbTable may be combined into one single AcDbTable with all cell properties and contents transferred.
  • Merge/Unmerge cells with advanced content options:
        Picking a single cell will process MERGEING with other cells, picking a merged cell will UNMERGE it into single cells automatically.
        Contents may be detected and recorded while the Merge/Unmerge operations. No data will be lost (As AutoCAD merge will only record content in R1C1 and discard all others)
  • Transfer data between cells in same/different AcDbTables:
        Existing data in cells can be copied or moved into another position in same or different AcDbTable. Even swap is supported. It is very easy to swap column or row in AcDbTable via AutoTableX.
  • Using Excel as editor for AcDbTables:
        An AcDbTable can be modified from within Excel via an alive linkage between Excel spreadsheet and AcDbTable. During the procedure, merged cells can be displayed and math functions are also supported both in Excel and AcDbTable.
  • Build sequential contents in cells:
        AutoTableX can perform math calculations on digits in cell content in order to build a sequential contents and fill them into certain AcDbTable cells. Building an complex index? It will be very easy to do by AutoTableX.
  • Normal operations on cell content strings:
            Normal string operation such as "Add Prefix", "Add Suffix", "Substitution" are supported by AutoTableX.
  • Processing MTEXT control characters:
        As MTEXT is used as AcDbTable cell contents. AutoTableX will provide tools to process these complex MTEXT control characters.
  • Blocks in AcDbTable cells:
        AutoTableX not only support simple content cells but also the BlockCell.
