box around text?

[A.DelNegro]

I would like to add boxed numbers to a drawing to indicate dimensions to be inspected. I know I can add @[ to start the boxed text. What do I add to stop it?


If I put the @[3 before the dim I get this

If I put it after, I get this.

What I really want is the number in a box in front of the dimension.

Hi,

You need to add @] to stop.

I believe all you need to do is end your boxed text with @]

Ex. @[boxed verbiage@]

Is there a list for all the "@" functions?

I know:
@[ box start
@] box close
@o omit - (bad for people who cheat dimensions.....)
@+ superscript
@- subscript

Any compilation out there other than trying them all?

I believe the @O needs a capital "O"

You could just check the inspection button in the dimension properties. Any text you add will be included in the "racetrack".

This worked. For some reason I kept using @[ to try to close it, duh!

[mobleykm]

@# will end a superscript or subscript
