Every now and then, I do a deep dive into a niche topic that nobody really writes about.<\/p>\n

Because nobody is crazy enough to write 2400 words about balloons, right<\/a>?<\/p>\n

So today’s topic is: table anchors!<\/p>\n

    1. What are table anchors in SOLIDWORKS?<\/h3>\n

    A table anchor is a point on a drawing sheet that snaps to a table corner.<\/p>\n

    Every single table type in SOLIDWORKS has its own table anchor. This way, when you add a new Bill of Materials, SOLIDWORKS will snap that new table to its own anchor point.<\/p>\n

    2. All available anchor point types<\/h3>\n

    SOLIDWORKS support eight table types:<\/p>\n

    \"Available<\/p>\n

    Each table type has its own anchor point, as you can read on the official help<\/a>. Multiple points can be at the same position, though.<\/p>\n
