Tables

Post by Augusto Carena »

Hi,

i'm currently using version 5.1.366. I have a couple of problems about tables:

1) the "table is editable" check is active and grayed, even if the table is just for output: how can I set it off?
2) I can't understand how to set the width for cells for all the table
3) How does "Override cell contents" work? I couldn't manage it to work for me
4) Is it possible to limit the time range (e.g. from 24 to 36)
5) is it possible to automatically set the table to show the last simulation times (i'm on gaming)
6) when i select and copy all the table, the description cell is not copied. Is there a way to export (for print, e.g.) the complete table?

Thanks in advance for your support.
P.S. I couldn't find details about new features and bug corrections after my version (a release history): where can I find it. Is Sable still in development?

Hello Augusto,
1) the "table is editable" check is active and grayed, even if the table is just for output: how can I set it off?
You probably have an early version of the table tool. In recent versions, you can disable rows/cols/cells so that they cannot be edited.
2) I can't understand how to set the width for cells for all the table
You construct the table, and then apply formatting. Click the "Formatting" tab, and you can then size certain rows/cols/table.
3) How does "Override cell contents" work? I couldn't manage it to work for me
If there is a cell override active, it replaces the contents of the cells with text. For example, you can set the override so that when the value is "1", the contents of the cell might read "ON".
4) Is it possible to limit the time range (e.g. from 24 to 36)
Not at the moment. I will add it in though.
5) is it possible to automatically set the table to show the last simulation times (i'm on gaming)
Not at the moment. I will add it in though.
6) when i select and copy all the table, the description cell is not copied. Is there a way to export (for print, e.g.) the complete table?
If you create a button, there should be a "Table" type command available. Under here, there is a "Export" setting.

Thanks for the ready answer. However I couldn't find the Table option for buttons on my version.
Please, as I pointed in my post, will you give me an overview about new features and correction in versions after 5.1.366? Is Sable still in development? I need this information to evaluate whether purchising a maintenance update (BTW which is the price?) and investing in future development under Sable. In the past I received a very clever and ready support from Tony.

Thanks again

Augusto

Sorry, forgot a piece. Override doesn't work for me (it doesn't let me write more than a letter in text, and even it doesn't work)

Can you email me the project (or just the screen you are working on) and I'll take a look?

Yes, Sable is still in development. Sorry, I don't have a list of improvements.

Tony.
