Hello,

 

i would like to ask you for help. I would like to modify dimensions symbols. In drawing, when you click on dimension and want to modify dimension text. There is symbol pallet. (diameter, +/-.) I would like to edit these smybols. Can you help me how to do it? I think there should some file where these symbols are saved,  i don´t know where. 

 

Thank You for help

As far I remember this is what you are looking for.

Hi,

symbols shown in dialog window are related to detail option SYMBOL_FONT. You cannot edit them in a simple way, because their definition is saved in TTF or Creo font files.

    Hello Martin,

     

    yes, i know about this symbol_font setting. Unfortunately we need to go deeper. We already made changes to the ttf font we are using for new templates. If its ttf i can modify it simple (we know how how) if its creo font file i´m not sure we change it (we can try). Can you please give me the path where these symbole are located?

    Ahoj Martine,

     

    pokud je to to jako font, který si to načítá, není to problém, už jsme font měnili ve Font Forgi (pro nové templaty máme spešl písmo a bohužel jsme potřebovali upravit závorky a tečku). Pokud by to bylo jako spešl creo formát písma, asi nebudu vědět jak do toho, ale mohu se pokusit. Dokázal by si mi říct název souboru (cestu) kde je tento font se symboly uložen (nepodařilo se mi ho najít) ? 

    Děkuji
    Ať se Ti daří

    Hi,

    simply search Creo installation directory tree for files with ttf extension. If the filename contains ansi string then you hit the target. More details tomorrow.
