Suffix for dimension - x 30¦

[Goof2014]

Hello together,

I would like to add a suffix to an existing dimension. How could I add the text "x 30°"? The problem is the "° - degree" because the journal does not accept ascii code.

Thank you

Goof

Sub Main()
 
      Dim dimension As NXOpen.Tag

      While select_a_dimension(dimension) = Selection.Response.Ok

        Dim dimObj As Annotations.Dimension = NXObjectManager.Get(dimension)

        Dim appendedText As NXOpen.Annotations.AppendedText = _
                                        dimObj.GetAppendedText()

        Dim lines(0) As String

        lines(0) = "x 30°"
        appendedText.SetAfterText(lines)

        dimObj.SetAppendedText(appendedText)

        ufs.Modl.Update()

        ufs.Disp.SetHighlight(dimension, 0)

      End While

  End Sub

did you try <$s> for the degree symbol

I discovered the variable today. I got it to work. Thank you very much.

Here is a symbol 'map' of the common symbols supported by NX using so-called special characters:

And if you're using most any of the common NX fonts, such as BLOCKFONT, here are the symbols available as special characters of the font itself (note that since NX 8.0 and the introduction of support for TrueType fonts, that many of these symbols are supported as part of the normal font libraries):
