TableSplit

The command does not work in model space. It is intended only for splitting tables on layout sheets.

First, fill in the table with all the data. If the rows of the table go beyond the printed area of the layout. Then select the table and call the TableSplit command. You can select the table after the command is called.

The program will search for lines below the first row of the table. It can be a layout frame, a polyline, a block, or any drawing. The topmost of these obstacles will be considered the end of the free space for the table. If nothing is found on the layout, then the program uses the whole printed field of the layout.

Next, the program starts creating full copies of the layout with all the drawings and objects. The extra rows of the table will be moved to the new layout. A digital index will be added to the name of the source layout.

The program looks for rows in the table with the "Title" style and considers them to be the beginning of a string group. The groups will be moved to the new sheet as a whole if possible.

If at the beginning of the table, there is a line with the style "Header," then this line will be repeated at the beginning of each sheet.

An additional bonus is that the program looks for the main title block on the sheets, and if there is an attribute of the sheet name in it, then the table name will be written in it. For this to work, the attribute must be named "TITLE" or "SHEETNAME" or "SHEETTITLE" or "PAGENAME" or "DRAWINGNAME" or "NAME." If you have the "Sheet Numbering" plug-in (AVC_PageNo) installed, you can configure the attribute search.

Split Updating

You can apply a TableSplit command to a previously divided table. Then the program will collect all data from all layouts to the first sheet and then split the table anew. This way you can easily update the partition after inserting new rows or after deleting the rows on any part of the table. You can select a table for this command on any of the layouts—the program will still find the first one and will work with it.

Updates

Follow my news on Facebook or Twitter. If you have an interest in the new version, just download it from my website and unpack it into the same directory with the replacement of all files. AutoCAD must be closed. Updates are free of charge. Reactivation is not required.

• Keep in mind that when you update a partition, all but the first sheet is destroyed! And copies of the first sheet are created. Therefore, never edit anything on layouts with a divided table—all this will die at the first update. Also, never insert other tables on a layout together with a divided one. The program cannot adequately work with such layouts, and you will inevitably lose data.
  
  
• Not recommended to break a table on a layout with drawings. Drawings will be repeated on all sheets. This will not only clutter documentation but also increase the chance that you will begin to edit the drawings on the second sheet and lose all the corrections after a new split of the table. Select a separate sheet for long tables.
  
  
• Do not make copies of a divided table. The program writes a special label in the xData of each part of the table to further know that these are parts of the same table. The label will be saved when you copy the tables, and this can lead to confusion. The dialog for selecting the tables in the Paste to Table command displays only the first layout of such labeled tables and does not allow inserting new tables on these layouts.
