Symbols in AutoCAD
Symbols in AutoCAD
(OP)
Hey everyone!
I'm hoping to modify the means by which AutoCAD references symbols. Per my company's standard, we use a "RomanD" font. When referencing 'Plate' (\U+214A) and 'Centerline' (\U+2104) symbols, a "ISOPEUR" font is used to produce them, and I do not like the way it looks. Per the character map, both "ISOPEUR" and others ("Simplex," for example) use the same U+2104 centerline code. Could I ask or trick my system into inserting a "Simplex" rather than a "ISOPEUR" symbol?
Thank you in advance!

In the example above, let's use RomanD. This particular font does not have a "Plate" or "Centerline" symbol, so the system defaults to ISOPEUR. Rather than defaulting to ISOPEUR, can I request that the system finds a different font as a default, and ignores ISOPEUR when I'm using RomanD?
Thanks again -

As far as I can find out, that is not possible. ISOPEUR is apparently hardwired into the application as the go-to font for missing symbols.
RomanS.shx was updated in 2004 by Adesk to include the additional symbols, butRomanD, RomanT, and RomanC were ignored.
What you can do, is use the CharacterMap tool in Windows Accessories to copy a paste a different symbol character in from a different TrueType font.
