[Feature Request] #4329 - Table Object

Post by HakanSeven12 »

Do FreeCAD have a table object like this? If don't it would be nice to create a table object. I know there is a spreadsheet workbench but I want to place a table to 3d view.

In the 3d view? Interesting concept, can you give some use case?

Yes in 3d view. In my using case, I use them for earthwork calculations based on alignments. Also I'm using tables for show a point list(name,x,y,z) on screen.

So it should be something as annotation object? Maybe just extend its functionality, add a new type... And maybe add attachment property to it...

Tables can already be included in TechDraw pages. You may borrow code from there.

Also Draft_Rectangle tool can create a subdivided rectangle with rows and columns.
BTW it would be nice to include the tool into draft annotations (they are objects that do not have a shape but just a coin representation, at the moment we have just dimension label and text).

I think a separate object can be more useful. I need to set rows and columns and set text inside cells.

No idea where the code is. In the GUI it is available as an icon or in the TechDraw menu in the third block the last entry.
