RE: Is there a theta symbol in NX6 that can be used in drawings?

I can't find that there is a way to place a theta symbol on a drawing, but it doesn't mean that it's not there.
Here is a thread with some attachments that show most symbols

RE: Is there a theta symbol in NX6 that can be used in drawings?

If you change your font to "greekfont", you should find it in there. If you want to embed it in a note using a different font, you can use control characters to change the font within a note. For example, if greekfont is font #2 your note may look like:

CODE

ANGLE OF ROTATION <F2>J<F>

how do you set up a font #2 that can be controled in that fashion. I don't see anything in Preferences -> Annotation

RE: Is there a theta symbol in NX6 that can be used in drawings?

Type your note in your usual font and when you change your font it should automatically enter the control characters for you (at least it does on NX 7.5, I think it does on NX 6 as well).
