  INCIDENT DIAGNOSIS:
  .
  Drafting (IntDraft) / TABLE COLUMN WIDTH
  CANNOT BE SET TO 2MM OR LESS
  .
  DEVELOPMENT REQUEST JUSTIFICATION:
  .
  Using out of the box Table default style, it is not
  possible to set a table column width below 2mm.
  .
  MinWidth of a column > Left Margin + Right Margin
  In Drafting, left marign= right margin = horizontal
  margin,so the Minimum Width> 2*Horizontal margin
  .
  In Drafting standards the default value for cell
  horizontal margin is configured to 1mm (see
  default table style definedin drafting standard file,
  in section Styles/Table/Default/Cells/Horizontal
  Margin). That's the reason why, the minimum value
  in this case is 2*1mm=2mm
  .
  This behavior is very similar to Microsoft Office
  Powerpoint, where you cannot reduce a column
  width to 0mm. However, we agree on the need to
  be able to reduce the width, whatever the margin
  value is. That's we consider this behavior as an
  enhancement. Unfortunately, this kind of
  modification requires impacting deliveries that have
  to be managed through a new highlight.
  .
  BYPASS:
  .
  Customize the Table style to set the horizontal
  margin to less than 1mm. However, this property
  applies to all the cells of the table.
