Diamond Symbol in Drafting

Diamond Symbol in Drafting

Diamond Symbol in Drafting

(OP)
Hello,

Where can I find the diamond symbol in drafting? I did a search here of "diamond symbols" but the results did not help.
Using NX9.

Thanks!

RE: Diamond Symbol in Drafting

Are you talking about including a 'diamond', such as a '♦', as part of a note on the face of your Drawing? If so, do the same thing that I did here, find a TrueType font that includes a diamond shaped character and use it.

Most TrueType fonts include a Diamond character (along with the other 'suit' characters, Spade '♠', Club '♣' and Heart '♥'). I just tested this and using the Arial TrueType font, I was able to imbed a so-called 'Black Dimand Suit' character into a note on the face of an NX Drawing.

RE: Diamond Symbol in Drafting

... or are you talking about a diamond shaped identification symbol (such as balloon)?

RE: Diamond Symbol in Drafting

Note that there's at least one NX Drafting symbol which is a Diamond with the letter 'T' incased in it, which is used to indicate some sort of 'Fit' function in manufacturing. Unfortunately there is no way to use it except as part of a note.
