Any fellow CAD jockeys know how I can override auto formating in autoCAD?
I'm doing a door schedule, and we have basement with the rooms tagged as 001, 002, etc. Whenever I punch these numbers into my table they always are autoformatted to 1, 2, etc. How do I get ACAD to stop doing this? I imagine this would be a fairly common issue.
I've done it but only once and awhile ago. I can't remember if its right click the cell and something like "data format" and then I think you have to select custom or something. There might also be a format button on the table toolbar that pops up when you're working inside the table.
Not very helpful really.

Thanks in advance.
