Accentuated letters in drafting
Accentuated letters in drafting
(OP)
Hello everybody,
I need to use accentuated letters in NX, but I don't know how.
I am from Hungary, so I need letters like á, é, í, ó... etc.
Any idea?
Thanks for any help.

I found the file here:
C:\Program Files\UGS\NX 7.0\UGII\ugfonts\latin_extended.fnx
Do I have to search for the settings in File\Utilities\Customer Defaults...?

RE: Accentuated letters in drafting
I am back, and I still have questions. If you can help me.
First, I can't find the attached program. But no problem I downloaded one, but something is not ok.
I have FontFactory 3.0. When I try to open latin_extended.fnx it gives the following error message:
""""Sorry. Conversion using ugfontc failed. This is probably because FontFactory could not find either ugfontc or libsyss.dll. Maybe the problem arose because your UGII_ROOT_DIR environment variable is not set correctly.""""
Any other advise?
Thank you in advance.

RE: Accentuated letters in drafting
I'm from Mexico and I use accentuated letters too.
The default NX font (blockfont) doesn't identify accentuated letters and even the degree symbol. But I've used the fonts "hershey-sans" and "iso-1" and they give me no problem, I can write whatever I want in spanish (like: á, ñ, ü, °,etc.)
So, give it a try, may be it could help you

Thank you for your help.
But one more basic (I hope the last) question. Where and how can I change the font type?
I found File\ Utilities\ Customer defaults\Drafting\General\Lettering fonts. If it's the right place, I don't know what to do with it.
RE: Accentuated letters in drafting
So I guess to answer your first question, the default fonts are now defined in the Drafting Standard used. And if you wish to change the default font once you've already started to work on a drawing file, that can be done at...
Preferences -> Annotation -> Lettering
...but it can be overridden on a case-by-case basis from within the text editor itself.
Anyway, I hope that helps.
