(OP)
Does anyone know if you can add conditional symbols to notes in Solidworks?
Thanks,

You can create custom symbols if required.

RE: Conditional Symbols
Can you point me in the right direction about how to create custom symbols?

RE: Conditional Symbols
I inserted the symbols into a word document and pasted them into the Solidworks drawing. I guess I was hoping to find a way to put frequently used symbols into the solidworks database so that I don't have to do this very often.
Thanks,
John

Make a backup copy of the file before attempting to edit it. The file should be edited with the Windows Notepad utility.
Read the blurb at the top of the file. It contains the format required for the code within the file.

I'll give that a try.

For <= hold down the alt key and enter 8804 on your number pad, then release the alt key. For >= enter 8805.
Some other symbols are discussed in thread559-131040.
As CorBlimeyLimey stated in that thread you can view the characters available in a particular font by selecting on the following: Start Menu > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Character Map. Select the font, find and click on the symbol.
If the lower right says Keystroke: Alt+0123 (where 0123 is any number), that is the number you need. If there is nothing in the lower right, but the lower left says U+0123 (where 0123 is a hex number, which can contain the letters a-f) you need to convert the number from hex to decimal for entry into SolidWorks. Here is a link to the first of many Google results on hex to dec converter, and it seems to do the job: http://www.parkenet.com/apl/HexDecConverter.html.
For the <= symbol the number was 2264. My calculator converts 2264 hex to 8804 dec. And 8804 produced the desired symbol within SolidWorks.
Alternatively: http://www.unicode.org/charts/symbols.html has PDFs with the symbols and their hex codes.

*LE,Less Than-Equal To
A,LINE .0,.5,.6,.8
A,LINE .0,.5,.6,.2
A,LINE .0,.1,.6,.1
*GE,Greater Than-Equal To
A,LINE .0,.2,.6,.5
A,LINE .0,.8,.6,.5
A,LINE .0,.1,.6,.1
Then close SW and reopen. Voila! there are your symbols for notes. I think that you'll have to add this to all your seats, and I'm not sure if it will email correctly, so maybe you should check on that.
You can also rearrange the symbols to correspond with frequency of use.
