Question

Equality Symbol Troubles

Hello folks,

Happy new years.

Say, I found I could add a less/greater than or equal symbol to my drawing by holding the ALT key and typing the ASCII code # 242 or 243. Great! Why isn't this in the Pro/E symbol palette?

Now for the bummer: when I create a PDF file (straight from Pro) it DOESN'T PRINT the symbol! WTF?

Any solutions, other than creating my own custom symbol?

Cheers,

-Lar

Lar,

Here is a way to get the symbols in your notes or dimensions:

<u>Tip: To Make a ≥ or ≤ Symbol Within a Note:
</u>

Format note as follows:

@#>@# OR @#<@#

Now change the font of character '>' or '<', select the note and move the pointer over the character '>' or '<'. Select the character '>' or '<' and right click on it. Select Text Style, change the font to 'Cal_grek'

Hope this helps...Brian
