NX4 Critical feature symbol in drafting

[lurks]

Does anybody know how to add a critical feature symbol in drafting mode? From what I have seen the code for it is <%CF>, but that does not work for some reason. Am I missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Sounds like you were using a User-Defined Symbol, which will have to be recreated or the symbol definition file will need to be placed on your machine.

Also make sure that you're using the default 'blockfont' as that's the only text font definition file that is guaranteed to contain all of the special symbols that we officially support.

Also note that there are control characters to change the font in the middle of the note. This comes in handy if you are not using blockfont but want to insert a special symbol that only appears when using blockfont. I think the control sequence is <Fn> <F> where 'n' is the font number you want to change to.

If you search on the term "control characters" in the help files, you should find what you need.
