Automatic adjustment of revision tables (SW13)

Hello

In my company, we have been using the Revision Tables for years, but since the 2013 version, we have been facing a small problem. When we edit a cell, for example the date, or the definition of the change, the line adjusts as closely as possible to the height. It forces us to pull on the cell to enlarge it and in the end have cell heights defined a bit on the fly and not necessarily coherent from one shot to another.

 

This is particularly annoying because we don't manage the date of the plans via properties (unlike many things in our cartridges) and therefore we often have to make changes on the revision table.

 

Is it related to a new SW13, a bug? What can I do to return to behavior as in previous versions?

 

Thank you in advance.

Hello

 

By right-clicking on the table and going to "Formatting" it is possible to standardize or adjust the height of the lines!

I don't know if this is the solution to your problem but in any case I don't have this problem at all.

I can readjust my line heights, at the next revision it's ok, I have the same height.

yes, I see that I can for example adjust the height of all the lines and then freeze that height.

So that solves the problem of this plan. I could also take the time to work on my document templates in this direction so that the new plans are correctly set and certainly I will do it (.slddrw and the revision table file).

However, we work a lot by duplicating similar cases (on which this problem arises). While it is possible that I will take the time to do this on each of my plans on the cases I deal with, I doubt very much that my colleagues will do it. In the end, we will always have a lot of badly configured plans.

What bothers me is that it had been working perfectly for years and that when the 2013 was installed, this "bug / feature" appeared without me finding a possibility to fix it in a simple and general way.

So I looked at the Axemble tools, especially Integration, but I can't find anything like that in the possibilities of actions.

Did I miss something?

Hello

 

This problem already exists on solidworks 2012, for the set you just have to go to Option, Document Property, then in the table part, you have to disable "used the model settings.

 

I did the test to see if it still works since 2012 compared to our tables:)

 

I'll pass you the screen for more details

 

I hope I was able to help you;)

 

Have a good day everyone

Hello Centor, I tried to disable the "Use model settings" option but my cells still resize automatically.

Hello

You can send us a (blank) drawing with only a revision table (and revisions)

I'd like to test with your file.

This is a blank shot. All you have to do is edit the date or something else for the line to adjust in height to the text (and as a result the revision tables are no longer homogeneous).

Hello

 

There is bound to be an option that is messing up, at home I don't have the problem with your plan (see image)

I'll try to look for it.

I'm also thinking of an option that is a problem, but I looked in the options without success (it goes fast given the few settings there are on the tables).

Hello

I had the same problem with all the tables

I worked around it by locking all the row heights on the tables and re-saved those tables as a model by overwriting the matching tables

Since then it has worked without problems

Hello Philippe, does this also solve the problem on the plans that were created before the modification of the model table?

No

But you just have to lock all the line heights in the table of the plan concerned before making a change, otherwise no worries it will not change on its own.

For me it worked partially every time
