Question

Dimension symbols palette

Can anyone help me identify the path to the file containing the symbols for dimensioning?

I recently got a new pc and therefor reinstalled Creo4.0 M030.

On my old pc the symbol palette looked like this:

OldOld

On the new pc it looks like this:

NewNew

As you can see I now have other symbols in the palette but also especially the diameter symbol "Ø" is significantly different and it stays different when I print the drawing as a PDF.

 

I have searched through config.pro and other .pro and .dtl files but I cannot find the location of these symbols.

@mholst 

I think earlier you were using drawing option symbol_font as legacy in drawings and in new it is asme. 

If you will change the symbol_font drawing option in drawing to legacy, you will get old symbols.

I can find the symbol_iso.ttf and symbol_asme.ttf (font file) in my Creo directory but where do I make Creo use one or the other?

In your *.dtl file:

default_annotation_font <font_name>

I am on the same task, to see if I can add to whatever file drives this pallet, and I have also noted changes to these symbols among Creo versions. So far, no one has come close to answering the open questions. I have a couple feelers out and will report here if I find anything.
