AutoCAD unicode

Not sure how to ask but basically I'm trying to find which code in the font architxt will give me the degree symbol. In standard AutoCAD fonts the code is %%d however the code is set differently in architext.

anyone have a solution?

If you use the software Fontasm you can see the code.

Thanks in advance.

for architext fonts the code for the degree symbol is %%127 ...I looked it up in one of my old drawings. It's a shame this isn't any easier to determine ...or if there is a way I haven't found it yet.

Try ALT+145
Using the numeric keypad.

have you used that font? It's more popular around here than I thought.

No. I haven't used ACAD in nearly a year. I installed it on my computer when I worked at an engineering firm, but when my computer went south on me last year my install become non-functional. I would purchase ACAD, but since it would only be for fun and not business I just can't see spending that kinda cash for it. Even if I were to "step down" and get the "light" version it would still be considerably more than I would care to spend.

Yes it is quite a chunk of change unless you're a student ...you can have a 1 year version for $158 or and unlimited version for $348. Of course those prices may change in less than 20 days when AutoCAD 2005 is released. http://www.thecadstore.com/

I've not used anything more recent than 2002.

I've used R14, 2000, 2000i and 2002 plus "light" versions of 2000 and 2002. I love ACAD but not $3,000 worth! Though, for what I would want to do I'm sure 2005 LT would be more than overly adequate and is definitely much less expensive.
