Annotation code for a triangle, NX 3

Annotation code for a triangle, NX 3

Annotation code for a triangle, NX 3

(OP)
I am adding some text on the drawing, a formula to be exact.  Does anyone know the annotation code, or perhaps, how to create a triangle in the annotation editor.  Need it on the fraction lines, it's triangle*f/fo.

Thank you.

RE: Annotation code for a triangle, NX 3

If it isn't in the font file definition, then it cannot be added as an annotation. You may be able to define a symbol and add that to your line of text. Or leave a space and put the triangle in as a lines after placing the note.

Sounds like you want a greek Delta symbol. If so, change your font to 'greekfont' and type a capital letter 'D'.

To keep the symbol inline with the rest of your note, use the font control character. Use '<Fn>D<F>' to change the font 'on the fly'. Replace the 'n' with the corresponding font number for greekfont (for me it is 15, but your font number may be different than mine).

That was it.  Thank you looslib and cowski.

It seems the fraction part of annotation does not like the specific fonts, I put <F40>D<F> (f40 being greekfont) in the upper line and fo in the lower, then hit 2/3 fraction, it came back with an invalid object. Just letting everyone know this, I ended up just typing out the code with a / in there, worked.

But thank you again, that worked great.
