jamesmise Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Anyone know how I can make a little degree symbol in a text box? I have been typing "degree" or "deg." for years. For instance, if I have a callout that says: "All bevels to be 15 degree" Quote Link to comment

Itchy Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 on window hold down alt and on the numpad type 0 1 7 6 to give ? make sure num lock is on or it won't work If you hit the start menu and type in character map it will show you all the characters you could ever want, and the common ones have a keystroke assigned like above.

jamesmise Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 Alt 0176 worked, but not in a callout. I had to do it in a textbox and cut and paste it into the callout. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
jamesmise Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 Or copy and paste directly from the character map in Windows. 1 Quote Link to comment
