Solidworks - Add degree symbol into Sketch Text on a Sketch in a Model
Solidworks - Add degree symbol into Sketch Text on a Sketch in a Model
(OP)
Hello,
Trying to add the degree symbol into Sketch Text on a sketch in a model(see attached). The only way I have found to do this is using charmap.exe. Is there an easier way? I tried the alt codes, but can't get them to work.
Thanks,

You can check this with notepad or any other text editor by typing the alt code and switching the fonts it will show blank or as [] for fonts it is not included for.

I am surprised that SW doesn't include a button allowing you to add symbols in this feature, perhaps it will be available in a future release.

Alt 0177 ±
Alt 0186 · <-- Middle dot, but I'd like to find a bigger one so it shows up better.

solidworks dimension balloons:
add a balloon by using the Modify Text tool on the dimension text. Add the following to the dimension:
<C#-1> for a Circle
<S#-1> for a Square
<T#-1> for a Triangle
The "1" can be replaced with any number you desire, there seems to be a two digit limit.
