When in the drawing tab, how do I do a carriage return within a table cell ?
I’m using Safari on a MacBook Pro to access Onshape desktop
Thanks for any help !

You can't do it directly in the table, you will have to open a text editor (Notepad on windows) and copy/paste1

I am joining this conversation late but I have found that if you type your text first, you can then go back to the place you want the new line and type <ALT><ENTER> (or <CTRL><ENTER> or <SHIFT><ENTER>) it will add the return character to the text. If you type any of these combinations as you type, it will just jump to a new cell in the table.0

Ahh... Looking at it further, you have to force some text wrapping in the cell before this will work. I found that I needed at least 3 lines that were text wrapped before I could add the carriage return. It might be easier to just paste the text into the cell like @john_mcclarypreviously suggested.
If you have the opportunity to mess with the cell width, you can force 3 lines then add the carriage return and reset the cell width.

Eventually these "hacks" need to be addressed and alt+enter should add a new line, just like excel5
