ReMark Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Arcs that are eventually turned into polylines and given a width? Find a suitable font, type the number 3 (at the desired height), explode it (using the Text Explode tool found in Express Tools) then edit to taste?

bill_borec Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Type the # in a blank dwg. and save it. Insert the #.dwg as a block into a new .dwg with set x and y scale for the block insertion. Done. I think the same could be done with an inserted xref? BTW: What's a character stroke? and why is it so small with respect to the height/width of the character?
