Creating Note and Position Number Symbols

The functions Annotate > General Note, Annotate > Position Number and Annotate > AutoNote > Pipe normally expects that note and position number symbols are available in the standard symbol font #21 (see Symbol Fonts Reserved by the System). These symbols are defined in the same way as any symbol. The symbol number must be in the interval 31 - 60 (default 31) for note symbols and in the interval 61 - 80 (default 61) for position number symbols. For note symbols consisting of a start symbol and an end symbol with connecting lines in between, the intervals are 81 -90 and 91 - 100 respectively. There is no default number for start/end symbols. It is however possible to change these symbols in the default handling of the system (see Drafting Default File Keywords) or when activating the functions.

It is possible to extend the intervals for the different symbols mentioned above. For this purpose, an alternative symbol font for Note and/or Position Number symbols should be used. The number of this alternative font is #41 and the use of it is dictated by the Drafting default keywords NOTE_SYMB_EXTENDED_RANGE and POSNO_SYMB_EXTENDED_RANGE respectively. The alternative symbol font for Note and Position Number symbols is organized as follows:
