Dear AZBilliards Forum Members:
Together with AZ staff, we have created a special player version of the CueTable for AZBilliards Forum users to include their own shot layouts inside of their posts. Being able to view and edit the diagrams directly from posts will greatly enhance the forum experience for everyone. The following instructions show you how to do this.

Special thanks to Mike Howerton and his staff for their tremendous assistance in implementing the new software into the AZBilliards forum.
CueTable is a free public software and is supported by our sponsors and users like you. We are very please to have the opportunity to help communication among players of our sport.
Now, let's line up your best shots !

To Embed a CueTable Layout in a Forum Post
- Once you have drawn a layout on the CueTable Editor, export the layout data from the software by clicking on
ExportData<E> in the lower right side of the table. This will automatically copy the layout data to your computer memory.
- Go to the AZ Forum post editor and do a computer paste (Control-V on PC, Command-V on Mac).
- Highlight all the layout data texts
- Click on the
Wei button in the editor tool bar to add [ WEI ]...[/ WEI ] tags around the texts.
- You can submit the post now. The layout will be shown automatically on a CueTable Player in your post. If you are new to this you can use the AZ's Test Area to practice.
To Edit an Existing CueTable Layout from a Forum Post
- Click on the
Edit <A> button located at the lower right side of the CueTable Player. This will open the current layout on a CueTable Editor in full size.
- Once the layout gets shown on CueTable Editor in a new window, you can then adjust ball position or change things around. To save the changes and include the new layout in another post, follow the steps above.
CueTable Player Technical Information
- Just like WeiTable, both CueTable Player and CueTable Editor are made from Adobe Director which requires the Adobe Shockwave Plug-In (different from Adobe Flash Plug-In). It can be downloaded from the Adobe Shockwave Player Site
- It will display both WeiTable data and CueTable data from the html page.
- Since the CueTable Player does not have the full editing features, it requires less system resource than WeiTable does. It also has a smaller file size than CueTable Editor does.
- It will work both in a forum post and in your private message (PM).
- There is no longer a need to take a screen capture, open it in an image editor, save into .jpg or .gif file and upload it as an attachment. We save time and harddrive room.
Advantages of CueTable Player over the old WeiTable
- Correct Size/Proportion to a standard 9 ft Pool Table with regulation-sized balls
- Full Crispy Raster Graphics with Higher Resolution and Better Color
- Multiple Pages Can be Saved in One Layout Data String
- Post-It Text Notes for Adding Captions in the Layout
- More Lines, Better Lines, Longer Lines
- Shorter Layout Data String in a URL- Ready Format
