I am on NX1883
Is there a way I can add a bullet symbol to a drawing note ?

Are you using a true type font such as Arial? If so, you can copy & paste the character in from another source or hold down the [kbd]Alt[/kbd] key and type the number "0149". I found this key combination by using the "character map" utility.

Unfortunately we need to used blockfont for our notes, so I can't use what you stated.
I used the degree symbol and it worked out OK - not as nice as an actual bullet symbol, but still nice.

Just curious, Why are you , still, using Blockfont ?
- I, very carefully, read through the "drafting rules" a few years ago to see if there was any direct rules on how a drawing font should look because i wanted to switch from the "unigraphics fonts" to Truetype.*
I then found that the rules really only stated that the font should be easy to read and reproduce ( copy & microfilm) and that was it.
( - this is the simple version of this standard.)
* I knew that i had a few older colleagues that would have "opinions" on leaving the traditional fonts so I had to be well prepared.

Regards,
Tomas


 
I agree with you Tomas. I recently changed jobs and don't have much control of things here.
What specific Truetype font do you use ?
