How to the plus minus sign to a note

How to the plus minus sign to a note

How to the plus minus sign to a note

(OP)
Does Solidworks have a symbol or something so I can add the plus minus sign to a note so the plus is over the top of the minus instead of me doing the +/- routine for each occurrence.

In Pro-e they have a text symbol to do this.

Thank you,

Jeff

±

Alt-0177 (must use number pad to enter numbers while holding "alt")

RE: How to the plus minus sign to a note

Yes, it does. When you add your note if you look over to the left of your screen you should see a box with the grey header that says Text Format. There are three symbols just above middle in this box. The one on the right is for Add Symbol. Click on that and you get images of symbols to choose from. The one in the top right corner is +/-. If you pause over the symbols you will also see their field codes, in this case <MOD-PM>. If you were to type in this field code you will get the +/- symbol.

Learn all the Alt-Codes - with apologies to SolidWorks - When you know these Alt-Codes you can insert them a ° (Alt 0176), a ± (Alt 241), a Ø (Alt 0216) - whatever you like in whatever program (just about).
