Disappearing apostrophes from drawing notes
Disappearing apostrophes from drawing notes
(OP)
Hi all,
I'm trying to create the following note in my solidworks drawing:
BOLT <MOD-DIAM>1/2" @ 6" c/c
When I type this in and create the note, the output is:
BOLT <MOD-DIAM>1/2 @ 6 c/c
Why is solidworks removing the apostrophes when it displays the note?
Thanks,
Taylor

I do have that option turned on. The only case where they're disappearing is when I have the double prime mark bracketing the "@" symbol.
For example:
Something" @ Something" ==> Something @ Something
But this would work fine:
Something" @ Something ==> Something" @ Something (no change)
Thanks,

BOLT <MOD-DIAM>1/2" @ 6" c/c and that was the output the " never disappeared.
If you RMB the note and select "Edit text in window" do you see the missing "?
If they are disappearing, then my guess is you need to try and replace your gtol.sym file... maybe its corrupted. However that is just a guess.

Another thing that may be worth noting is that the " @6" part is treated like a single unit. So I can't, say, select the last " without select the whole " @6" string.
How would I go about replacing my gtol.sym file?

What does the "@ 6" c/c" mean anyway? I have never seen this with reference to a bolt.

I did not see that yesterday. This works alot like a registry file in Solidworks, you must have dual \\ to make one appear... must be a code thing.
Hope that helps,
