Hello All, 

I have a situation where I'm adding some text and want to identify the part with a part#.  For example Item 1, I want to add a circle to the number one for it to stand out on my text notes.

The same goes for each line item I have for my text note.  For example, if I have 5 lines of text notes, I want to be able to put for example a triangle around 1 thru 5 line items.

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.



Thanks in advance
KenJG

One option.

Start MTEXT.  Right-click, select Symbol, then Other.  At the Character Map dialog box click on the Help button.  At the Windows Help & Support dialog box click on the topic "How do I create a private character?".  Start reading.

Another option.

Create the text in a word processing program, where you have more flexibility for doing these sort of things, then bring it into AutoCAD via cut/paste.
