I am not at work right now, so I am just working off of memory.
You need to use two of each symbol, but I forgot how. Maybe try ==, and >>

I know if you go under Help (pull down)>Documentation and enter "text symbols" you will get a link to a table showing what you need.

Use this string:

<T$>!=>

Hello,

Thanks for the reply!
But can we make it look like this " ? ".
I cut and paste it from character map.

We tried to do the same thing but we can'f find a match and it does not show up.

You can modify the text height for that portion of the string. Not perfect, but close.

See attached.

<C0.50><T$>!=><C>

OK, I've create a new NX font based on 'BLOCKFONT' in which I've inserted (which means that you can actually use replace your existing BLOCKFONT with this one since there should be no conflicts anywhere) 2 additional special characters as seen here...

...using the characters '$G' for the 'Greater Than or Equal To', and '$L' for the 'Less Than or Equal To' symbols (note that these are UPPER CASE letters).

Just save the file below (blockfont-1.fnx) into your default font file (if you haven't changed anything it should be at...

\UGII\ugfonts

...and restart NX and you should good to go.

Now if by some chance, you are NOT using BLOCKFONT, let me know and I can add these characters to any currently supported NX Font that you wish.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

If you are not using blockfont, you can use control characters to switch to blockfont where necessary in your string. You just have to know which 'font number' that blockfont has been assigned to.

For example "Some text <Fn>$G<F> more text"

Change the 'n' in the above '<Fn>' to the blockfont 'font number'.

And for the record, out-of-the-box, BLOCKFONT is always font #1, as in <F1>.

Found this thread really usefull, but if you just want to simply add a less than symbol < what do you need to type?

Many thanks in advance.

Life shouldn't be measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the number of times when it's taken away...

there is also a solution to write VI or IV and rotate it in 90 degrees

 

[cowski]

JCBCad,
For just a '<' sign, use '$<'.
This works in blockfont, and should work in the other fonts as well.

In general, if a character you want won't show up, try putting a '$' in front of it.

Nice one Cowski! Have a shiny purple star for your efforts!

That's a nice workaround!

or simply underline the "greater than" symbol

Jerry,

It doesn't look perhaps quite as nice as some of the others but it is just such a simple and lateral solution that it's almost amusing!
