Is it possible to automate or make it easier to create a symbols legends in LT? Ideally I would like to create a legend of all the symbols(blocks) used in a drawing and not use our standard legend as all the symbols are not always used.

Hi all, I'm drafting out plat info, property lines, and labeling curves. I changed the Curve Label Format to DDMMSS and that worked, but when I drag it (leaving it as Stacked Text) the minutes and seconds symbols change to backward E and upside down A... any ideas how I can prevent that?

Hi all, I was tempered to reply in this post, as it kind of has the similar problem, but as the title has almost nothing to do with my problem (and the post is old) - I thought I'll post a new one... So: I need to mark weld lines on the detail drawings with x x x x x x x if this is the site weld, and with l l l l l l l l if this is the shop weld. Both the x x x and the l l l marks should always be orthogonal considering the weld line direction. If the weld lines are hidden (broken), the x x and l l should also be broken. (Lee Mac's lisp can handle this!) in the mentioned tread, I saw and tried the givven solutions, but: 1) Ahankhah's lisp is ok, but - I need "x"es and "l l"s not the "/"s. I changed the degrees of the line to 90 and it kind of works, but only if the weld line is horizontal. If the weld line is vertical, the "Unable to hatch the boundary." message is shown. Also, if the weld line is at some angle, the l l l is always vertical, and I need it to be at 90 degrees to the weld line... For X X X I have no idea how to do it... 2) Lee Mac's lisp is excelent, but I need to draw tousends of shop/site weld lines, and it would be much better if I could: - define the symbol that I want to copy; - define the size of it; - define the space between them; - give 2 points for start/end of the line the symbols will be put along. - enter to recall the last command, then just enter again to confirm memorized options (first 3), and just select 2 point to fill in the symbols... It would be really nice if someone could make such a lisp - my two kids would really appreciate it, as I could spend little more time at home with them instead in the office, with my boss and colleagues... I would of course be even more grateful, as I adore them (my kids, not my boss and co.) If it is too complicate to be made - I want to thank both Ahankhah and Lee Mac for their work, and I think I can use Lee Macs lisp, just with little more effort - it will definitely shorten my time on this task: THANS!

I was wondering if there was a simpler way then coding to create custom hatch patterns. I would also like to know if there is a way to save something as a symbol for later projects. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi Just a simple question this time i have to used iso3098b becasue it is a stardard. but i am finding it hard to add a greater than or equal symbol. this is because as far as i know iso3098b does not have one. its there some code or do i need to add it to a shx file or something Thanks

How do you get the tolerance symbol in a line of text?
