Centerline Symbol
Centerline Symbol
(OP)
Dear Folks;
I created a simple text based centerline symbol by using a small letter C and large letter L and then grouping them together. I was wondering if it can be saved for future use and dragged into the drawing as required.
I'm using SW2005 SP0

RE: Centerline Symbol
It seems like alot of unnessary work.
Look in SW Help for "symbol" or "symbol library"
Once the symbol is created as a note then you can save it as a favorite and then bring it into the drawing any time you want.

To add a something to the folder you just drag and drop it the first time. I have found that in blocks that I have used model properties it associates those as well when you drop it into the new drawings. You it on castings quite a bit.

One thing I would like to see...
In UniGraphics, it was possible to embed custom symbols into files and templates, so there was no dependency on external libraries.
Just a thought....

Then there are the text symbols that come with Solidworks located in the Solidworks folder.

RE: Centerline Symbol
the simplist way to get the symbol in a drawing is type the following in a note OR dimension:
<MOD-CL>
or, right click the note, select properties, click on "add symbol", (modifying symbols library), select "centerline",
click OK
click OK
