What happened to Chr

[WhoCanDo]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to get ° into my code/text please? It seems to have been overlooked in VW2016

procedure AngleText;

var pt1, pt2, pt3, pt4 : vector;

begin

GetPt (pt1.x, pt1.y);

GetPtL (pt1.x, pt1.y, pt2.x, pt2.y);

GetPtL (pt2.x, pt2.y, pt3.x, pt3.y);

pt4 := (pt1 + pt3) / 2;

TextOrigin (pt4.x, pt4.y);

CreateText (Concat (Num2Str (2, AngBVec (pt1 - pt2, pt3 - pt2)), Chr (176)));

end;

run (AngleText);

Try Chr(161).

By default VS/VW uses the Mac character set.

161 is the ° on the Mac.

Thanks Kevin, That worked.

However, the only reason why I used Chr instead of '°' in 2016 is that '°' stoppe working in 2016. Worked fine in previous versions.

So, no Alt0176 in macros, no Chr(176) {replaced by 161} in macros, but Alt0176 is still working when typing text within the drawing. A bit of a mishmash hey.

I thought VW used the ASCII western character set.

VW does use the ASCII character set but that only goes to 127 over that you are using the ASCII Extended Character Set which is not standardized.
