CAXA - Paratables (Annotative Blocks)


Malcolm Crowe

Recommended Posts

For users needing "Annotative Blocks" that scale with the "Paper Scale", there are 3 types of “Annotative Blocks” in CAXA DRAFT.

1. Drawing Frames

2. Title Blocks

3. Paratables

The name “Paratable” is a bit unfortunate, as this tool doesn’t need to be limited to Tables. It can in fact be used for creating any type of “Annotative Block” (consisting of attributes, line elements, text, etc), that needs to scale with the “Paper Scale”.

Attached is our in-house document regarding "Paratables", along with a demonstration video.

Hi Kim,

The "Properties" displayed in the Properties Browser of my Paratable are the "Attributes" that I defined inside my Paratable. If the "Fill in Paratable" dialog is empty (as in your image), this is because there aren't any "Attributes" defined inside the Paratable. In the attached video I create a Paratable using "Text" and a Paratable using "Attributes" to demonstrate the difference. I hope that helps.

Malcolm
