Currently if the points are not created in logical numeric sequence ie. 1, 5, 2 , 7, 3, 4 etc... and you create a Coordinate Table. The Table displays the rows in the point creation applied. To modify the display, Modify > Annotation > Table Settings has refresh and renumber (which doesn't modify the point number display). Therefore you must select the Table > Export to a CSV file > Open the CSV in Excel and Sort the Point Number column and Expand Selection. Save the CSV and create an empty table with 3 or 4 columns and two rows. Next you select the outer box linework > Import from file the CSV and will autofill the required rows - with the numbers set correctly.
Request that the table columns be able to be sorted in ascending, descending and create sequence.
Being able to easily control the decimals via properties would be great.
Also how about a simple pick from screen option, with a pre-menu where we can tick the items and the order we want them.
So for example, tick the Point Name, E,N,Z,Code and it will tick a check box and assign a column number (in this case 1-5) as well.
No need to specify number of columns and rows it would just create as you go.
Then being able to inset rows at the start, merge cells, and then we could write our own Headers and have wide cells for Titles etc.
I hit this problem again today. Very frustrating looking at a simple Table that is not listed by the first column, point number.
Yes it could definately do with this feature. There are many other reasons why users may want to edit and group the data differently. So an easily accessable editor that is only one step away from the Table in survey view would be good.
At this stage just being able to move data around similar to moving things in an Excel sheet would be all I would require, i'm not sure any formula capability would be needed.
