Revision Symbol

Does anyone know if it is possible to lock a revision symbol to a
dimension on a drawing?

So that when you re-position the dimension the symbol goes with it.

Come to think of it, it would be handy to be able to do this with
notes etc

Cheers,

In the SW install directory you will find a file called Gtol.sym. Back
it up and edit it with your favorite text editor. You can add your own
symbols there which can be inserted into notes and dimensions. Make
sure to back it up first and be prepared to spend some time
experimenting to get the results you want. I believe you will have to
restart SW every time you change something in this file.

 

Thanks,
I'll give it a go, although will it mean that the revision symbol will
not be linked to the revision table?

If so, this may be more of a pain than not having the symbol tied to
the dimn.

Anyway, I'll let you know how I get on.

In 2005 you can group annotations so that they move together. I will
caution you in that the revision symbol has to be in the drawing view that
the dimension is in. Select the dimension and the symbol and the the right
mouse menu "Group".

Cool,

That's just what I need

What about Datums for diameters? I can not get these to group together.
