How do I insert the degree symbol in single line text? Click on the Symbol Icon (@) in the text editor and choose your symbol, or manually type in percent (shift +5) percent (shift +5) followed by the letter D and then the required text (%%D TEXT). U+2205 = Diameter symbol Better yet – Use%% – this is a more standard way of enter special characters In addition to using Unicode characters for entering special characters, you can also overscore text, underscore text, or insert a special character by including control information in the text string.
I have seen a few Lisp routines that allow you to add a line of text under your dimension. I thought that it would be helpful to show that you don’t need a lisp routine to do this. You just need to know where to edit Above: Unedited Dimensions To add text so that is underneath the dimension but also above the dimension line:.
Type ED in at the command line and hit. Select the dimension to edit. move the text cursor to the right of the dimension value and hit This will create the new line below the dim value. Above: Using ED to edit Dimension text To add text that is below the dimension value and the dimension line:. Select the dimension to edit. Right click and open the Properties palette. Scroll down in the Properties Palette to the Text section of the Palette and then activate the “Text override” text box.
I used the following to achieve the below text: XNotes below dimline. The Important thing is the X portion. This creates the new text line below the Dim value and the Dimension line. Above: Properties palette where X is entered Above: Text below Dimension Value and Dimension Line. Search for:. Recent Posts.

I’m talking about the actual symbol defined in ASME/ANSI Y14.5, for which specific dimensions are given, and which does not appear in any standard font or character set. The ASME requirements are used by, for example, the US government and its acquisition and supply agencies and the US automotive industry, among others. Naturally, typographical symbols may bear a chance resemblance to some other symbol or shape, and leave it to a motivated engineer to find them buried in some table.
A resemblance does not make them equivalent. If you do a little searching on the Internet or the AHK’s site there are several premade solutions Perhaps too many!
Install AutoHoyKeys. Take the.AHK file from the attached ZIP and put it in your startup folder. It will load as Windows starts - for now launch it manually to see what it does You then get a series of key combos to type characters - e.g. Deeg ° Customize as you wish. Open the file in Notepad and edit it There are brief notes at the start and the syntax is simple enough (296 Bytes).
