The Wizard Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 For those who may not know there is a specific symbol for spotfaces when dimensioning per ASME Y14.5. It is the counterbore symbol with SF inside. There is no such symbol in the gdt.shx font. Does anyone know where I might go to obtain a font that has the spotface symbol?

ReMark Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 (edited) There are Y14.5 fonts available at the ASME website. One of them (the -2009 version) has what you are looking for. They are TrueType fonts so they can be installed in Windows. You'll also have to download and run the .exe file as well. It took me a while to sort it out but I was able to copy/paste the symbol into my MTEXT editor. Note: It is actually the Y14.5M-2009 font. I forgot the "M" when I typed the above.

ReMark Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 The Wizard: Were you able to find, install and use the font I previously mentioned to arrive at the SF symbol shown above? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark, Have not had time to check out the information you provide but it looks like what I need. Maybe if things slow down a bit I will be able to get it uploaded.
