"Adding a "+", "-" circu to representing draft"

"Adding a "+", "-" circu to representing draft"

"Adding a "+", "-" circu to representing draft"

(OP)

Dear All,
Is it possible to add a "+" and "-" circumscribed by a circle to represent a dimension for a feature ,that have a positive/negative draft of 1 degree it will be good especially for plastic parts.Because  for plastic part for every will have a draft.So by adding that symbol for particular dimension, users will understood that from that point from that value the feature have a draft/taper".
If any body knows are how u r represnting in such type of situations please let me know

RE: "Adding a "+", "-" circu to representing draft"

It does not exist because it does not exist in any drafting standards. Look up ANSI Y14.5 to see hoe drafts should be called out.

Can you use the +/- symbol, without circle? If you need the circle, you may have to create your own then make it a block.

Thank you Chris,
If we make that symbol as block,it will not have associativity with that dimension,means whenever I move that dimension the block should also move then it will be gooD or is there any other way to convey the same meaning to represent that "from that point for that feature will have a draft"
