In this article, we'll guide you through the basics of creating and customising tables in LusoCAD, based on our recent video tutorial. Whether you're a beginner or looking to brush up on your skills, this guide has what you need.<\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Introduction: activating the Table command<\/h2><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To start creating tables in LusoCAD, you can easily activate the table command. There are two ways to do this: use the Annotations ribbon and select the table command, or type Table directly into the model view to start the table insertion process. As soon as you activate the command, a window pops up allowing you to customise the table according to your needs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1b71499 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1b71499\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"653\" height=\"514\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luso-cad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Captura-de-Pantalla-2025-08-13-a-las-2.17.16-p.-m-1.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-3038\" alt=\"Creating and customising Tables in LusoCAD\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luso-cad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Captura-de-Pantalla-2025-08-13-a-las-2.17.16-p.-m-1.png 653w, https:\/\/www.luso-cad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Captura-de-Pantalla-2025-08-13-a-las-2.17.16-p.-m-1-300x236.png 300w, https:\/\/www.luso-cad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Captura-de-Pantalla-2025-08-13-a-las-2.17.16-p.-m-1-15x12.png 15w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 653px) 100vw, 653px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fedfb40 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"fedfb40\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bbe877c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bbe877c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Customise table styles<\/h2><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With the Table command, you can create and customise various table styles. You can choose a table style from the predefined styles or create your own by clicking on the appropriate button. You can define the dimensions, specifying the number and size of columns and rows to fit the content. To start a new style, enter a name for a new table style.<\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Components of a table<\/h2><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In LusoCAD, tables are made up of three main elements: header, title and data.<\/p><ul style=\"text-align: justify;\"><li><strong>Header:<\/strong> the title of the table.<\/li><li><strong>Title:<\/strong> a brief description or designation of what the table represents.<\/li><li><strong>Data:<\/strong> information presented in a structured way.<\/li><\/ul><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can customise elements such as colours and borders in the appropriate menus and tabs.<\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Configuring and using table styles<\/h2><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Once you've learnt about the components, here's how to configure and apply styles to the table. Adjust margins, font size and borders before saving the style, for a neat look. Position the table where you want it with the mouse and double-click on any cell to start entering text.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-503566d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"503566d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"900\" height=\"284\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luso-cad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Captura-de-Pantalla-2025-08-13-a-las-2.18.06-p.-m-2.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-3044\" alt=\"Introducing Table Text\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luso-cad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Captura-de-Pantalla-2025-08-13-a-las-2.18.06-p.-m-2.png 908w, https:\/\/www.luso-cad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Captura-de-Pantalla-2025-08-13-a-las-2.18.06-p.-m-2-300x95.png 300w, https:\/\/www.luso-cad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Captura-de-Pantalla-2025-08-13-a-las-2.18.06-p.-m-2-768x243.png 768w, https:\/\/www.luso-cad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Captura-de-Pantalla-2025-08-13-a-las-2.18.06-p.-m-2-18x6.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5f95d6e e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"5f95d6e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4cc69d0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4cc69d0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Change the table dimensions<\/h2><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To ensure a good presentation and fit with the content, you can modify the dimensions.
