Mathematical Special Character

Well I was working on a dwg in which I had to give greater than eual to
and less than equal to signs in the notes as well as in the dimesions.
But using the short keys (as given in windows character map) for the
same, I was not able to acheive that.

Any one having idea how to do that?

For notes, I copied and pasted the same from the word file, but for
putting in dimesnions, I had drawn a line below the greater than or
less than sign. The only problem with this was that if th text is
moved, the line will not move alongwith the text.


Thanks & Regards

Alt+8804 less-than or equal to, and Alt+8805 greater-than or equal to.

Interesting.

Since I do all my writing and calculations on the Mac, where special
characters are readily known on the keyboard or findable, I haven't had
to figure out the special character issues on Win XP.

As I only use SolidWorks on WinXP, not having special characters hasn't
been an issue for me yet.

Is there a specific source in the OS where all the special characters
for any font are accessible?

Many Thanks - Bo

Dear Muggs,

Thanks for the inputs.

I had already tried that one. These can be used only with the notes but
when someone has to override a dimension value with some text, the
less-than or equal to and greater-than or equal to will change to equal
to sign once you are out of the editing. That is the troublesome thing.

Anyone tried this or faced this.

Thanks & Regards

Where do you find the chart with these things on them?

 

I found a great list of special characters at:
