Custom symbol font locking
Custom symbol font locking
(OP)
I have made a few custom symbols that are just tables with predefined text. Is there a way to lock the font of a custom symbol? The issue I have is when these symbols are placed the drawing font overrides the symbol definition. Things like font size and text justification are getting changed when placed. I'm also not able to edit the text on the drawing in which it's placed since it's considered a symbol not actual text. I'm using NX 8.5





RE: Custom symbol font locking
If it were me, and I'm not claiming this to be the best or most elegant solution, I'd just create the Tabular Note and save it in a standalone file. When needed, do a File -> Import Part and import the saved file with the Tabular Note into whatever drawing file requires this table. Once the table is imported you can drag it to where you want it or use the Move command to be more precise with the placement.

RE: Custom symbol font locking
When I place the symbol the text style is changing, I'm assuming it's inheriting the drawing template font. The issue is that it has changed the size so some of the text is cut off and it changed to left justified instead of centered.
