1.I got text field (A icon) - draft file. I tried to paste diameter symbol from Word or code it with SE symbols %DI -
Doesn't work. (In Autocad %%c always works).
2.I can't copy- paste text from field to field and to other apliccations. UGS - do something. It's horrible.
 
Are you in a draft file?

if so then...
- pick character map button from text flyout
- The arial character set contains a diameter symbol you can paste to clipboard
- close character map dialog
- pick text button, pick location point and ctrl-v (paste)
- your diameter symbol should appear. If its not the size you want then select text, Edit menu, properties, paragraph tab and font size.
