Machining Symbols

[ebjco]

Hello,

I am using AutoCad LT 2005. I need to make a leader callout for a 2-56 UNC blind threaded hole .1 inch deep.
I went through all the TrueType Fonts loaded on my computer but I can not find the one for a hole's depth. A straight line with an arrow placed in the middle pointing down. Are there any machining Truetype or other type of fonts or symbols out there? I could "fudge" something but I try to avoid doing that if I can.

Thanks

Ernie

Try the Windows font AMGDT. It would be the letter X.
Saw this font a few days ago while cruising through all the Windows XP fonts.
Hope this helped.

Hi,

I don't think AMGDT is on my system.. I'm running XP Pro. I'll see if I can find it on the internet.

Thanks

I found and installed it but the letter X shows up as the letter X...

I appreciate your help though.

Thanks

Using AMGDT as your font file, type "U+0078" (without the quotes)
FYI it can be found in the Character Map of Windows.

Lowercase x is easier yet.

Ernie, sorry, my bad.
I meant lowercase x.

Wexford...in fact I'm working on a plan in Cranberry now. Can't have too many townhouses in Cranberry, can you?

I'm surprised there is still room....enjoying the snow?

Hi,

I got it to work. I found out that the font, GDT will do the same thing in lower case and I didn't have to search the internet for it.

Thanks Again
