In getting an existing engineering drawing to be reuse, the first step to be done is to search for the appropriate file. To get the desired drawing, an engineer will have to access every file. This procedure consumed much time and energy as there might be lots of files and folders related to the drawings. To ease engineers search for old engineering drawings, the extraction of the table structure has to be done. This paper describes review on recent research in extraction of engineering drawing tables. Along the way of this reviewing process, the weakness and downside of previous researches has been identified.
