Text Symbol into Drawing table using toolkit

[Ketan_Lalcheta]

Hello,

I am aware that I can enter text inside drawing table cell using API ProDwgtableTextEnter().

Manually, One can add text symbol into cell of drawing table by following below steps:

• Double click on cell of drawing table and Note Properties menu will open
• Click on Text Symbol and Text Symbol menu will open
• Click on required symbol and click close button

I would like to know how to add text symbol into Drawing table using toolkit.

Thanks in advance!

Regards

Ketan

You enter it as ^A (control-A) then the character code for the symbol in question (for example 'n' for diameter) then ^B (control-B).  For example:  "Hole is ^An^B20 mm".  If you are not sure which character is right, make a note using the text symbol palette, and Save Note on it, and examine the resulting file.

Hello,

Thank you for this suggestion.

I tried with text as "Hole is ^An^B20 mm" through toolkit to write it into table cell. I regenerated drawing sheet also, but it does not change to diameter symbol.

Am I missing something which need to be done?

Thanks and Regards

Hi all,

^An^B is for UI assisted input, with Pro/Toolkit note text manipulation this will not work. What one needs to do is to create a number of  test notes containing various symbols via UI ( as the previous reply was saying)  and while in debug mode to examine wchar_t* data from Pro/Toolkit  note text lines - then one could see the correct hex values for symbol codes.

From about Pro/E 14 till Creo 3.0 ^A was 0x001 and ^B was 0x002, but I do not believe it was documented anywhere... For example the diameter symbol would be something like this: wchar_t *dia_txt = { 0x001, 'n', 0x002, 0x0} and to use is I would do something like snwprintf( some_text, PRO_LINE_SIZE-1, L"%ls %1.4f", dia_txt, some_double);

Also you may revert to the old style noteline text '{0:..}'

HIH.

Feliks.

Sorry, I was presuming familiarity with the ASCII representation of character codes.  I don't mean to say you enter it in your code using the control key, rather that the character codes are 0x1 and 0x2.  One representation in C would be

The hole is \001n\002 mm.

I have verified that this works with ProDwgtableTextEnter.

Hello,

Unfortunately, The hole is \001n\002 mm is not working with ProDwgtableTextEnter for me. I am having creo 2.0 M090.

For \001n\002, I am unable to understand this. ASCII value for A , B and control key are 001 , 002 and 0 respectively, it should not be 0001n0002 instead of  \001n\002?

I tried with 0001n0002 also, but no success.

Thanks for your patience and answering repeated question of mine.

\001n\002 as in printf( "%c%s%c", '\001', "n", '\002); or char *t={'\001', 'n', '\002', '\000'}; or char *t={0x1, 'n', 0x2, 0x0}; or std::cout <<'\001'<<"n"<<'\002';...
