NX7 - Invalid annontation specified in entry field error when I type <
NX7 - Invalid annontation specified in entry field error when I type <
(OP)
Okay, attempting to do a 'quick exercise' in NX7 Drafting, where I just want to create a simple "cut 'n paste" list of attributes that may be in a file. To do it, I am attempting use the old <W@$...> string. However, I am getting a "Invalid annotation specificed in entry field." when I type < in the Text Input Field in the Note Command.
Humor me folks, the morning is young and it feels like it has been a couple of versions of NX since I tried this method - but... has a new feature been added to NX or have I just simply forgotten a step?

I really don't know of any situation, in NX, where they stopped supporting something in a newer version that was available in any previous version, and I have worked on it for over 20 years.
If you want the "less than" sign to be shown the use "<<"

The less than / greater than symbols are used for control characters so you can do things such as change the font or character size. Do a search for control characters within the NX help. You will see a list of them.
Not sure in the NX 7.5/8 but in some previous versions you needed to change it to blockfont to get some symbols to come in....(don't quote me on that but I want to say you had to for the copy right symbol) if that is the case you can type your text and use the font control <fn> and set the n to the blockfont number value possibly 0 or 1...
Example:
Your text <f1> $> <f>
