This draw schedule is an AutoCAD table entity, so you will able use any AutoCAD table editing command, such as resizing columns and rows, moving the table, and manually editing text in the table.
The draw schedule is not linked to the drawing. If you make changes to the drawing, you will need to regenerate the schedule.
