Copy and paste autocad dwg into SW sketch - Degree symbol problem
Copy and paste autocad dwg into SW sketch - Degree symbol problem
(OP)
Hello,
I copy and pasted an Autocad dwg into a SW sketch. Conversion worked pretty good except for degree symbols, they are showing %%D in the SW sketch(see attached).
Typically not a problem, but I have a lot of these degree symbols on the drawing. The only way I can fix is to update each one.
I tried copy / paste into Draftsite. Then copy /paste in SW, but did not help.
Anybody know a shortcut?
Thanks,

Wonder if it can be done through the API? Search all the text for that character string and replace with <MOD-DEG>.

%%D is the internal way ACAD records the degree symbol in a text string. So DraftSight won't fix this.
I am surprised SW didn't fix this when importing the dwg file. Did you drag and drop or read the file in directly?
