Display Component Lists as a Table in the Drawing

Shows step-by-step how to create tables from component lists and place them in your drawing.

Before you begin

You want to add component lists in tabular form to your drawing, for example, to show the settings of the circulation control valves in a schematic in a table.

Requirements:

  • The components to be listed in the table are located in your drawing and are visible in the current view.
  • To display Analyse parameters in the table, you must first perform and confirm a calculation. Only then will these parameters be written to the components and can be used for displaying them.

Navigate to:

Labeling and Output tab ➤ Export ➤ Component lists ...

or

Labeling and Output tab ➤ Label drawing ➤ Component lists ...

Dialog Component lists LINEAR AutoCAD

Procedure

  1. In the Component classes area, open the component class groups whose components you want to list in the table.
    Tip: If you want to display only components of a certain component class in the table lists, you can preselect the corresponding components in the drawing before opening the dialog.
  2. Select the checkboxes of the component classes whose components you want to include in the table.
    If necessary, use the search function of the section to quickly find component classes.
    In the Parameters area, all parameters of the component class are displayed in different groups.
    Tip: Select the checkbox only shared parameters to only display parameters that are present in all enabled component classes.
  3. In the the section Parameters, activate the parameters that you want to display in a table.
    If necessary, use the search function of the section to find parameters quickly.
    In the lower window of the dialog, a component list appears with all components of the component classes and the values of the selected parameters.
    Tip: You can use the commands of the column context menus in the component list to make changes to the order and the names of the parameters. In addition, you can use the command New parameter to create user defined parameters.
  4. Click Create table <.
    The Create Table dialog opens.
  5. Enter the Table Title and confirm your input.
  6. Determine the position of the table with a click in the drawing.

Results

You have placed component lists in tabular form in your drawing.

Tip: Use the button Get table < to load configurations of already placed component lists for editing.
