Use MText. It has a feature that allows the user to insert symbols.
What kinds of symbols are we talking about?

Thread Notes
Registered forum members do not see this ad.
Hi,
This is my first post. We are working in fastners and Bolts. Part of the assignment is to be able to create the thread note. Now I have a general idea of what goes where, as in, I can understand what its calling out. My problem is that I can manually draw the symbols in the notes which are time consuming and not a clean as I would perfer. Is there a character list in AutoCad to make my notes clean? The symbols I am drawing, expoding, moving and scaling to make one note...Please tell me there is a simpler way.
Thanks in advance

Like counter sink, bore the odd ones that give you the specs on bolt holes.

I think a lot of those can be found by looking through the symbols list. Others you may need to create yourself. I'll do some digging around later today (going on three hours of sleep at the moment) and see what I can come up with.

I Found Them!!!!! They are Already in AutoCad. But when doing your Note Change your font to GDT and the lowercase letters are symbols used in Thread Notes.. C-Sink, Bore, ect... Thanks Y'all

Does "q" or was it "g" that gives you the centerline symbol? Originally Posted by debbricklen

I'm going to have to jot that one down on a "sticky" and attach it to my monitor. Thanks!

I have a modified RomanS.shx that has a Centerline symbol at %%150, plus a bunch of other symbols and even roman numerals.
It's in the attached zip.One dog barks at something, the rest bark at him - Chinese proverb.
