Tilde(~) in Annotation NX 7.5.3

Tilde(~) in Annotation NX 7.5.3

Tilde(~) in Annotation NX 7.5.3

(OP)
Hi,

I need to add the Tilde "~" in the note. I checked that there is a option with the ISO-1 & latin-extended font but the font created is very small in size as compared to rest text and if I increase the text size of the specific text the gap among the rows also increases, which looks bad.
Is there any way to do it in a more simpler way and with the same font.

Thanks in Advance!
Regards,
Ishant

RE: Tilde(~) in Annotation NX 7.5.3

not really simpler, but an option.
Cut and paste this:
<C2.5>~<C>
The <C2.5> is the multiplier for the text size, and the <C> returns it to the default size.
The tilde is between them.
Change the 2.5 to what you need.

in which font i can use this..?

RE: Tilde(~) in Annotation NX 7.5.3

darn . . . it looks like the tilde didn't work with blockfont as I anticiapted.
Sorry, I did not post this while I was at work so I could not try it before posting it.
I will investigate.

RE: Tilde(~) in Annotation NX 7.5.3

Switch to ISO-1 or latin-extended font for the tilde only. The advice Jerry gave should work.

Actually I have already tested that and the result of this is mentioned in the question itself.

Use a true type font instead of an NX font.

RE: Tilde(~) in Annotation NX 7.5.3

TrueType/OpenType fonts were not an option until NX 8.0.

That being said, I've attached a modified version of 'BLOCKFONT' that includes a '~'. Just take this file and replace the 'blockfont.fnx' file in the \UGII\ugfonts folder with this one, restart NX and you should be good to go.

Thanks John,

This was the exact solution for me.
