Something I hear often is “Why can’t I change the text format in the data fields of my Isometric table?” As an introduction to the solution, by default the data fields come in as cyan and are locked. Let’s walk through how to change this.
Start by opening the Project Setup either by right clicking on the project name in the Project Manager and then selecting Properties, or the Project Setup can be located in the Home ribbon tab under the Project Manager Panel drop-down.
Once the Project Setup is open in the selection tree on the left hand side, expand “Isometric DWG Settings” and select “Title Block and Display”. Ensure that the correct iso style is selected in the drop-down at the top of the screen and then press “Setup Title Block…”
That will open the iso.dwt file which is the template file of the iso border. Select the BOM data cells, then in the ribbon, click “Cell Locking” and select “Unlocked”.
Now that these cells are unlocked you can now make color and format changes through the Properties Panel.
Important: Once you are done making changes select Cell Locking from the ribbon again and change the cells back to “Content and Format Locked”.
