RE: Greater than or equal symbol

I am not at work right now, so I am just working off of memory.
You need to use two of each symbol, but I forgot how. Maybe try ==, and >>

I know if you go under Help (pull down)>Documentation  and enter "text symbols" you will get a link to a table showing what you need.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply!
But can we make it look like this " ≥ ".
I cut and paste it from character map.

We tried to do the same thing but we can'f find a match and it does not show up.

OK, I've create a new NX font based on 'BLOCKFONT' in which I've inserted (which means that you can actually use replace your existing BLOCKFONT with this one since there should be no conflicts anywhere) 2 additional special characters as seen here...



...using the characters '$G' for the 'Greater Than or Equal To', and '$L' for the 'Less Than or Equal To' symbols (note that these are UPPER CASE letters).

Just save the file below (blockfont-1.fnx) into your default font file (if you haven't changed anything it should be at...

\UGII\ugfonts

...and restart NX and you should good to go.

Now if by some chance, you are NOT using BLOCKFONT, let me know and I can add these characters to any currently supported NX Font that you wish.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
 

RE: Greater than or equal symbol

If you are not using blockfont, you can use control characters to switch to blockfont where necessary in your string. You just have to know which 'font number' that blockfont has been assigned to.

For example "Some text <Fn>$G<F> more text"

Change the 'n' in the above '<Fn>' to the blockfont 'font number'.

RE: Greater than or equal symbol

And for the record, out-of-the-box, BLOCKFONT is always font #1, as in <F1>.

RE: Greater than or equal symbol

Found this thread really usefull, but if you just want to simply add a less than symbol < what do you need to type?

Many thanks in advance.

Best regards

JCBCad,
For just a '<' sign, use '$<'.
This works in blockfont, and should work in the other fonts as well.

In general, if a character you want won't show up, try putting a '$' in front of it.

Nice one Cowski! Have a shiny purple star for your efforts! thumbsup2

or simply underline the "greater than" symbol

RE: Greater than or equal symbol

Jerry,

It doesn't look perhaps quite as nice as some of the others but it is just such a simple and lateral solution that it's almost amusing!

Best Regards
