dsulli Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 Does anyone know what happened to the diameter symbol that can be added to text when dimensioning a 2D drawing? I just noticed today that this is missing. (I'm running V5.2). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdomenicali Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 My recollection is that it was there before adding the service pack, but I may be mistaken. It was certainly there in versions 4.x. My guess is that its disappearance is related to fixing the PDF symbol output issue (just a wild guess). I'm filing a bug report on it right now. My workaround has been to copy the symbol from the text page of the properties for a diameter dimension created normally, then paste it into the text page of the properties for the one you want to add it to. Tedious, but it works. Regards, Peter Domenicali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdomenicali Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 Upon reviewing the existing bug reports, I see this one's been discussed already beginning 3 days ago. I tried adding them under Edit/User Defined Symbols, and picking the Arial font, and that does indeed do the trick. It's still curious as to how they came to be replaced with O R R!

dsulli Posted August 16, 2002 Author Share Posted August 16, 2002 That does work; Thanks, guys! I guess I'll now have to investigate why there are errors associated with exported PDF files. After trying to open a drawing as a PDF, I get an error message and then the drawing dissappears. Strange! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest npersson Posted August 30, 2002 Share Posted August 30, 2002 I don´t know if you are aware of the old DOS trick. Hold down the alt-key while you type 0216 = Ø 0176 = ° 178 = ² 0179= ³ This increase my speed, thus I´m an old dog. /Nicklas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wim Posted August 31, 2002 Share Posted August 31, 2002 I would like the diameter symbol in the bom/template also.....and al the other symbols and the copy/paste feature.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Lohman Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 Here's a fix for this for Win2K/XP: Download that file, and unzip it. The quick way is to just double click on each .reg file and select yes to merge. They're registry files so you can of course look at them and make the changes manually if you want. You should not need to reboot after merging, just restart ironcad. The HKLM_Ironcad.reg only needs to be run once per system The HKCU_Ironcad.reg must be run once per logged on user. So if you run it then login as someone else, you'll have to run it again. diameter_symbol_fix.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
