Set text format of revision table to default

I am trying to access some options of a
revision table after it is placed already:
- Revision Symbol & checkbox
- Auto Update Zone Cells
- set table to default font
I cannot figure out how to do it.
Regarding the default font I also found
this thread about it but even when first getting the default font with
GetUserPreferenceTextFormat it won't change the format with
Code: Select all
boolstatus = swtable.SetTextFormat(False, swTextFormat)
Any ideas?

This is the only place I know off the top of my head to modify those values.

That is only possible if you insert a table though.
I was thinking that I might have to read out the default values & change the feature/annotation/tableannotation to the read-out value.
But whatever I tried - it did not seem to work.

Yeah, I guess I should have been a bit more descriptive. I don't know of any way other than when inserting a new table to do this. I've looked through quite a bit of the documentation and it's less than helpful.

This is i.e. how I set the line weights/layer for the BOM table:
Code: Select all
' Get & set table layer to standard for tables
BOMfeat.FollowAssemblyOrder2 = True
bomSetting = swModelDocExt.GetUserPreferenceString(swUserPreferenceStringValue_e.swDetailingLayer, swUserPreferenceOption_e.swDetailingBillOfMaterial)
swAnn.Layer = bomSetting
' get & set standard table lineweight
cfgInteger = swModelDocExt.GetUserPreferenceInteger(swUserPreferenceIntegerValue_e.swDetailingBillOfMaterialBorderLineWeight, swUserPreferenceOption_e.swDetailingNoOptionSpecified)
TableAnn.BorderLineWeight = cfgInteger
cfgInteger = swModelDocExt.GetUserPreferenceInteger(swUserPreferenceIntegerValue_e.swDetailingBillOfMaterialGridLineWeight, swUserPreferenceOption_e.swDetailingNoOptionSpecified)
TableAnn.GridLineWeight = cfgInteger
Code: Select all
BOMfeat.FollowAssemblyOrder2 = True
Code: Select all
bomSetting = swModelDocExt.GetUserPreferenceString(swUserPreferenceStringValue_e.swDetailingLayer, swUserPreferenceOption_e.swDetailingBillOfMaterial)
swAnn.Layer = bomSetting
Code: Select all
cfgInteger = swModelDocExt.GetUserPreferenceInteger(swUserPreferenceIntegerValue_e.swDetailingBillOfMaterialBorderLineWeight, swUserPreferenceOption_e.swDetailingNoOptionSpecified)
TableAnn.BorderLineWeight = cfgInteger
cfgInteger = swModelDocExt.GetUserPreferenceInteger(swUserPreferenceIntegerValue_e.swDetailingBillOfMaterialGridLineWeight, swUserPreferenceOption_e.swDetailingNoOptionSpecified)
TableAnn.GridLineWeight = cfgInteger
It's a super confusing system...
