I have a symbol on a mechanical drawing that I can't identify. It is a circle with a slash through it. What does it represent? The drawing is dealing with measurements in mm for length/width etc.

TheTick,

Thanks for [Ø] and [±]. I always wanted to know how to do those.

Please note everyone, that on the TGML preview page, there is a "Click here" that shows you all sorts of TGML codes, not including the ones above. TheTicks values work nicely. Also, you can go to and read through the HTML standards to find more character codes.

cubed³ = <alt> 0179

Alt codes are also quite easy to get from Character Map. Start->Run and enter "charmap"

I found mine just by rooting around in the Character Map. Also found in Windoze under "... --> Accessories --> System Tools"

TGML codes are based on HTML. A lot of stuff works.

If you click on the 'Process TGML' link when making a post, then click on the 'TGML Character Entity Reference' link in the window which opens up, the available special characters are shown. You can insert them in the way you would insert a smiley.

Can I have a star? [tongue]

You must be REALLY bored today, Tick. You did it in less than 17 minutes which is quite impressive...
