Symbol embedded in General Note

Note behavior in Creo 8.0.6.0. We are trying to get our notes to display embedded sybols as they did in Creo 4. Creo 8 shifts the note text based on the portion of the symbol used. The flag not defines the flag and note numbers. Any suggestions?

The response from PTC support engineer Michael Bennett that resolved our problem is: 

 

This change is a result of the SPR reported in CS309421.  Any new drawing with the fix applied can be reverted back to the previous behavior using the detail option antiquate_drawing 8712672 then updating sheets. This option must be entered manually and will not autofill. I can confirm that this did apply to your creo8sample.drw and that the creo4sample.drw had additional spaces added to the 1. in order to correct the indentation of additional lines.

Have you tried different fonts? Creo 4 used Leroy, while Creo 8 is using a TrueType font.

Unfortunately Century Gothic is a requirement.

Can you try different fonts just for testing purposes? It could be that Century Gothic is causing the issue. Have you tried it with Leroy and see if it behaves closer to the Creo4 image?

Hi,

it would help if you could upload a test drawing (Creo 4.0 and Creo 8.0 version) containing the notes and symbol from the image.

Having the position of things change in a drawing by simply opening it in a newer version breaks one of the cardinal rules of software development at PTC.  You should be able to open old drawing in newer version of the software and see no changes.  It looks like something changed at Creo Parametric 6.0.  I suggest opening a case with PTC technical support.
