Special Character Codes for Text

by Donnie Gladfelter on June 12, 2006

in AutoCAD,AutoCAD 2006,AutoCAD 2007,AutoCAD 2008

These codes stem back to the “Old School” days of AutoCAD in DOS, but are each still useful today. All of these codes still work with DTEXT using the standard AutoCAD fonts. Likewise, all but the %%u and %%o codes work with the newer MTEXT.

%%d = degree
%%c = circle diameter
%%p = plus/minus tolerance
%%u = begin underline of text. Repeat to end underline.
%%o = begin overline of text. Repeat to end.

    is it possible to print out these codes so i don’t have to go and find it, thought it might be easier to see what is printed on it?
