MikeP Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I cant find a way to enter the degree symbol. I usually just copy it from word, but there has to be a way to do it in cad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secretagdan Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 If you are in a standard text line, you can type '%%d'. If you are in MTEXT, you can right click to get a list of symbols that you can place in text, and what you would need to type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaeKid Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 You can use the Unicode for it as well .. \U+00B0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This symbol is used to represent degrees in many different fields, such as angle or temperatures. It is obtained by drawing a small circle as a superscript. The Unicode of the icon is U + 00B0. For PC: On your keyboard, press Alt + 0176. Note: This method works only for keyboards that include a 10-key numeric pad.

Jack_O'neill Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 in mtext you can also use the key combo alt+248. That is to say, hold down the alt key and press 248 then release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) Don't forget the others m squared and m cubed. Used a lot. ² ³ alt+0178 & 9 Also fonts like Dingbats ? have some quirky ones that come in handy like number in circle. Now where is that font viewer that shows key code. https://www.alt-codes.net/ varies depending on font.

BIGAL Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Complete list NO ! 256 characters are available in most font families. That's just the Mtext list. Try out (chr x) change your text style font to see the differences. (setq str "") (setq x 30) (repeat 220 (princ "\n") (princ (chr x)) (setq str (strcat str (chr x))) (setq x (+ x 1)) ) (setq obj (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (entsel "Pick a text object ")))) (vla-put-textstring obj str) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
