You can now create simple tables within Model-Based Definition (MBD). These tables can be placed on any annotation plane or set as flat-to-screen and assigned to combination states, just like other annotations.

There are two methods to create tables in MBD:

  • Use the Table Grid or Insert Table Command: Select the desired number of rows and columns to create an empty table.
  • Retrieve a Table from an Existing File: Import predefined tables from supported file formats such as *.CSV, *.XLSX (Excel spreadsheets), or *.tbl files.

•Insert a table from the Quick Tables gallery—In the gallery, you can preview system-defined and user-defined tables. Search and pin the relevant table to be placed in the model.

Additional Information:

  • Tips:
    Use the pro_table_dir configuration option in config.pro to define the default path for retrieving user-defined tables.
