I use LyX 2.3.3 on 64bit Windows 10, latest version.
I have a floating table with 3 columns. In the first column, I
have a figure, in the second column I need to rows of
equations, and in the third column, I have a text line:
To get two rows of equations in a sigle table cell, I inserted
a 2x1 table within the cell, and inserted a single-line
equation in each sub cell. [If I instead insert a multiline
equation in the cell, LyX preview crashes.]
My main problem is that I find it “ugly” that the three
columns in the row (figure, two lines of equations, and text
line] don’t align up well, horizontally. I have tried to
choose the row containing the cylinder, the equations (Jz =
½*m..., Jx = Jy = ...), and the text (“Hollow cylinder...”),
and select, say, top alignment, or centered alignment, but
those icons/choices are disabled.
Is there a way to control the horizontal alignment?
Thanks.

Without a MWE on which to experiment, it's hard to be certain. A
couple of possibilities come to mind. One is to replace the 2x1
inner table with a multiline math formula (such as a "gathered"
environment). Another is to click in a cell in the first column¸
click Edit > Table Settings (or right click and do the
equivalent), set a fixed width for the first column and a vertical
alignment of "Middle" in the column settings dialog.

I have attached a minimal LyX document with the *.svg file that I
use. In the figure path of LyX, I have put the figure in a
subdirectory “figs” – which can easily be changed.
I’ve tested a bit more, and it is the insertion of the **figure**
that causes the problem. My “trick” of getting multiline math by
inserting a table within a table cell works fine.
So: is it possible to vertically center the figure at the
insertion point?

What I proposed above works. Put the cursor in the "Geometry" cell,
right click, select Settings..., and in the Column settings section of
the Table Settings tab set a fixed width for the column. That enables
the Vertical alignment control, which you set to Middle. You might
want to horizontally center as well; that's up to you.
I've attached a modified version of the MWE.

Thanks! I get it! I need to **specify width** in order to **enable
vertical alignment** -- at least for cells with graphics.
-B
That's true for any cell content, not just for graphics. To set a
vertical alignment in a column, you first have to fix the column width.
