    Hi Sanjay,

    i have just read the topic from Rakesh Rao titled ..

    Bricscad transition tools - FREE by Rakesh Rao from 2009-11-07

    just a few topics before your one, and i wanted to draw

    your attention to that ! ........it is stated that :

    ".....An AutoCAD TABLE object when imported into Bricscad becomes an anonymous block (if DXF'ed) or an un-explodable, un-editable ACAD_TABLE object (if saved as DWG). The GT_TABLEEDIT command is an attempt to bring this TABLE back to life in Bricscad and make it usable. The command offers two possibilities - to explode the TABLE or convert it into a block with attributes so that you can edit it further. When you explode the TABLE, it becomes lines and MTEXT. When you convert it into a attributed block, each cell of the table becomes an attribute which you can then edit using block attribute editor.

    Tip: It has been observed that working on a DXF import of the TABLE exported from AutoCAD may yield better results.

    Known limitations:

     - If the original TABLE is rotated, the resulting TABLE may get created horizontally (angle=0)
     - Sometimes, the resulting table may get created at a slightly different (offsetted) location. You may need to move it to your desired location.
     - The cell text may sometimes show up slightly ofsetted with improper justification. This will need manual correction.    "
