Is there any way to create an overline?
Is there any way to create an overline?
(OP)
I'm working on a drawing that has some test results shown as an average value. The engineer wants to express these results as 'x(with an overline) = value'. Is there any way to show the overline and have it be incorporated into the text? I've tried creating the text in Word and copying it to the SW print but it won't recognize the overline. Thanks.

If you really want this symbol, you can create it by editing your gtol.sym file. A line and an X aren't all that hard to create.

Thanks for the Word overstrike links. I had no idea that functionality was included in Word.

1. Start an annotation note.
2. With the note active and your typing cursor placed at the desired location within the note, click on the Stack button from the Annotations toolbar.
3. Choose the style with the line down the middle.
4. Choose the bottom alignment option.
5. Type your overlined text in the Lower text field.
