TBrown Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I use VW running in a MAC OS and use the font Helvetica to notate my drawings. Whenever I have to place the symbol for "centerline" I create a "C" and and "L" separately and then arrange them to create the symbol. Is there a keyboard shortcut for this? I know this may be way out of the realm for a VW question, but it may very well be something that fellow users use daily, so I thought I'd take a shot. Quote Link to comment
islandmon Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 You can write a Vectorscript or Applescript or Automator or Widget to make the symbol with a single click ; ) Quote Link to comment
Kevin Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I am not sure how to implement islandmon's suggestion. You could make a symbol out of the two text boxes, (Modify>Create Symbol), and insert the symbol instead of typing each letter and moving them. Quote Link to comment
TBrown Posted June 27, 2006 Author Share Posted June 27, 2006 Yes. I could just create a symbol, but was kind of hoping there was a simple combination of keystrokes (ie. shift+ option + = for ?) that people were using to do the same. Quote Link to comment
MKingsley Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I use the font "Archie" (can't remember where I got it) and get that symbol when hit the option and C keys together. Why not use an architectural font for your notes as well? Quote Link to comment
