I am trying to put a chamfer dimension on my drawing using text with leader. How do I get the degree symbol in there? For example, in AutoCAD, %%c is the diameter symbol...Thanks for help.

so you're not gonna share what you learned with the rest of us?
 
Probably either the "Insert Symbol" button or "Alt + 0176" character code.


But yes, please share, we're always looking to learn.
 
yea, I just found a page on key codes for microsoft and degree symbol is alt 0176, but what is the "degree symbol"?

It is a button on the text properties toolbar called "insert symbol." It has diameter symbol, etc... and one option is degree.

 
oh, alright thanks
