Charactor map

Anonymous · ‎2011-01-03

Hi

I am running ArchiCAD 14 on Windows XP at work & on Mac at home...

In putting sizes to pipes on a water retic drawing i use the Charactor Map (which is either a Mac or Windows application not ArchiCAD) to get the Ø .... So the symbols entered when working on Mac show up as a square when working on Windows. (which doesnt plot)

I tried pasting the square into search & replace, then editing all found text strings (which strangely show up with the correct symbol). To no avail

Anyone have any ideas on how to resolve (other than drop my PC out the window & use Mac only)...

Cheers

Dom

Quit using Character Maps. Create new line type with that symbol.

Thanks Steve

but not sure how a different line style is going to help annotate my drawing. Or am i missing something?

Dom, by creating a new line type it can include text as part of the line.
Draw your line and it saves adding additional notes for description.
Lines make up the text part.
