Degree symbol

[ptatohed]

I don't know what line number it is because I look for the degree sign heading "kdeg". Then using this information about Shape Code definitions, I would alter the relevant figure for the radius.

 

Rad, thanks eldon. I got it now!

There is one more option not mentioned in any of the posts as far as I could tell and that would be to create what is called a "Private Character". This is done with the Private Character Editor found by clicking on the Help button that is displayed in the Character Map dialog window. One has to click on the question "How does one create a Private Character" to get started.

Well done for working it out.

 

You do realise that whilst you will be able to see the degree symbol as you like it, anyone else will see the original degree symbol when they open the drawing on their computer, unless you send out your altered font file with the drawing.

Thanks RM. I'm not a huge MText fan, I much prefer DText. This Private Character is only for use with MT, correct?

Thanks. You didn't completely spell it out but you provided enough info for me to struggle through it.

Good point, I'll keep this in mind, thanks.
