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 there a special code for a paragraph/enter??/
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?
need a code that shows a centerline symbol for single line text? we dont use MTEXT that much
how can divide the circle in to 12 segment
Give the MEASURE and/or DIVIDE commands a try.
thank you Joanne

DOES ANYONE KNOW THE CODE FOR AN OHM SYMBOL?

Found it. Thanks!
Found it. Thanks!
Donnie,
Wasn’t there one for the Center Line symbol as well?

Tommy – You might be thinking of the MTEXT editor. There you can find a long list of symbols, including one for center line.
I have used the special charater codes many times. The issue I run into with Mtext, is that when I add the center line symbol, it does not appear as the same font style and scale. I have to highlight the center line symbol and scale it up to match the height of font style all ready in uses. I can live with that. It really becomes a problem when I need the center line symbol in a civil 3D object. I can add the center line symbol with the text, but I can not scale the center line symbol to match the height of the text all ready in uses. It would be nice if the symbol would just match the font style being used. Do you have any suggestions?
