    Greater than or equal to symbol

    CDH, With Dtext your stop characters worked, but when converting to mtext it went back. Steve, Someone else also told me that they were able to selectively underline, but it hasn't worked for me. It extends to everything else in the text window after I click OK. I've recently installed...

    Greater than or equal to symbol

    Hi, I'm trying to enter a Greater than or equal to sign using the symbol manager from the Mtext editor, with no success.

    AutoCAD2WaterCAD Conversion methodology.

    Waterguy, I am using the Polyline to Pipe conversion utility. What I would like to do is to set the default pipe size to, for instance, 8" CA, then DXF in all of the 8" CA linework; then reset the defaults to, say, 6" PVC and DXF in all of the 6" PVC. I've already started...

    AutoCAD2WaterCAD Conversion methodology.

    Hi again, Can you please tell me if you've found it easier to change the pipes to different layers, (depending on size, mat'l), in AutoCAD before DXF'ing the file into (Standalone)WaterCAD, or is it more manageable in WaterCAD? Thank you, MtM
