Adding a Gridline symbol to Mtext

I would like to know if there is a way of customising the standard symbols in Mtext as I wish to have a similar symbol to Center Line and Boundary Line but I'm wanting to replace the first letter with a 'G' for Grid?

Hope someone can help.

I hope someone can prove me wrong, but I don't think it's an easy fix. The symbols you described are in the definition of the font file, and unless you can find a font with a GL symbol (or edit a font file to include one) you're SOL.

Not actually addressing your problem, but you may like to try this:

There are font editors, but most of them you have to pay for, and it's a trip to learn how to use them. I like Wizzies idea.. it's kind of hack but it's such a simple solution, it's got a sort of elegant beauty to it, and it's a lot better than using polylines and trying to line them up with the mtext.

There are a lot of websites out there that offer free fonts, just google "free fonts" and browse.

Thank you very much for your inputs.

I think you have confirmed what I presumed that it would be a tricky font edit. It's not that important to start learning how to do this but I too like 'Wizzies' idea as a temporary solution until Autodesk realise there is a need for it, even if it is just me and maybe they will add it to their font file.

Thanks again

until Autodesk realise there is a need for it, even if it is just me and maybe they will add it to their font file.

I'm sure they'll jump right on that one...
