draft symbol in text

[ptc-1140334]

Hello again,

I am sure that I have done this in the past but cannot find any notes
explaining how. What is the syntax for calling a draft symbol, maybe a
surface finish mark, from text?

Thanks in advance,

Also the symbol must exist in the drawing somewhere before this will work.

Does that mean the name you see when you switch between symbols & dimensions?

That is the name of your symbol. (ex. flag.sym.1) You would put "&sym(flag)" in your note, without the quotation marks.
If it has variables assigned to it, you will be prompted for a value.

Hope this helps,
Arnold
