UNDERLINED TEXT Modeling 20.2.3.0

Hi,

Tried to find that kind of fonts, but there was nothing.

Logically, the programs like Word have this function built in, so it is senseless to create such a font.
So I looked for other solutions and would like to show three.
Start with the least appropriate for your question/need.
1. in Creo Elements Direct Drafting there is a macro collection with which you can change existing fonts or create your own new ones. It dates from the time when ME10 could not load Windows fonts.
But this is more than work intensive and has other disadvantages.
-You would have to change or create every single letter and this for every font you need.
-If you give your drawing to someone else, the new font is not known to his computer, unless you save the font with the drawing and that makes the files bigger.
-Export to dwg for example = absolutely no chance.

2.  Have written the text with a 2nd line and tried there to accommodate the lines as text. To do this I chose the letter key combination ALT+0175 and gave the shape with line spacing and editText. (Look in the attached .mi file for deails)
But this works only for single lines and the export for example to dwg = catastrophic.

3.  i use this solution in Drafting for a long time and thought about how this could be realized in Annotation.
So create a sketch. In the sketch the text in the desired standard font. Then draw the desired lines in the sketch.
This sketch can be moved as a unit, is displayed in annotation on every computer in the same way and the export for example to dwg = well, +/- reasonable.

In Drafting you make a part instead of the sketch.
Certainly not as luxerious as in Word, but a feasible workaround.

AND you can also add many other things, e.g. cross a word or leave space in a line and insert there a word in a different font, etc.
Well, have fun trying it out and have a look at the attachment.
