Extend symbols in dimension text

I would like to add the symbols GX, LP etc. in the symbols of the dimension text, as they are not present. Where do I get these symbols according to ISO GPS and how can I make them available in Creo 4?

Hi @ML_2678909  

Please note that the symbol_font detail option is applicable only to annotations that are owned by the object in which you have updated the detail option (drawing/model)

 

E.g. if you have a drawing with a shown dimension (owner is the model) then it would not be enough to update the symbol_font of the drawing, but also in the owner model of that dimension. Drawing owned annotations would use the symbol_font of the drawing...

Hi @ML_2678909 ,

This is already supported in Creo. all you would need to do is to update the following model/detail option via the File-->Prepare-->Model/Drawing properties--->Detail options UI.

 

After updating the "symbol_font" detail option to any value other than "legacy", you will get the extended text symbols pallet:

    Thanks @Mfridman for the tip. I can adjust the detail option as described, but unfortunately I don't get any additional symbols. Are there any other settings that I need to consider?
