Keep original string in text override?

[bobsun]

Hi,

 

I would like to ask a question on special characters.

 

I know it is easy to enter special characters in using “%%” escape sequence. However, if I am not entering in single or multiline text, but rather in a dimension annotation’s “override” field, I found that the newly entered text completely overrides the original dimensional annotation.

 

For example, if originally I had a diameter of 7.98, and I would like to put a Φ sign in front of it to make Φ7.98, but it seems that there is no way to preserve the original content of 7.98 together with the Φ sign.

 

Is it possible to keep the original measurement within the string? What is the special character representing the original measurement?

Lt Dan's legs,

 

This is the first time I am using this forum so I have a question:

 

When a question is answered, is it an option here in the forum to mark it as "answered"? And does the answered get any credit from answering a question?

No problem.

 

I do not believe there's anything like that.

I see it. Thanks.
