explode/burst drawing symbols?

(OP)
Help!!!

I need to "violate" standard drawing practices to satifsfy a customers standards, to do this i must burst /explode the GD&T symbol and edit it manually.  is this possible? if so, how? i have searched thru the comands and can't find it..

please..i am desperate


i thought i might be able to make it with individual text boxes but, unfortunatly, i have not been able to find a way to inset the GD&T symbols in a text box...  :(

help on either of htese would be GREAT if any one can find the time to point me in the right direction.

sorry....i had a blonde moment about the symbols...i  know how to make them  :P

sorry.

but i would still love to know if there is a way to explode a GD&T symbol...it would make life MUCH easier

thank you

RE: explode/burst drawing symbols?


If I have to make a GD&T symbol someplace odd, say in a general or flag note, rather than leave a gaping space, and inserting the symbols with the function, I use text, text symbols, and frame manipulation to create the symbols, such that they are carried with the text.

You cannot explode the GD&T symbols.  I'm not sure that I can see how exploding the symbols would make life any easier, though... (perhaps you could explain)
