Been trying to use the degree character from my character map. The DataCAD fonts aren't in my list. The Ariel font has the character number/hotkey of ALT-0176 which I understand is the right number. Well, when I copy and paste it, it shows up on my text line; although, when I press "enter", it doesn't show up on my screen. It's nowhere to be found. When I enter it direct with the hotkey, it misbehaves in the same way. Also, to add to the confusion, the manual has a different number like 0145, I think it is.
Degree character appears to be 127 in the standard ROMANS datacad font.
The attached macro will create a character map in the open DataCAD drawing using the current font (the map will start at the origin and go downwards). Note that many of the characters are blank or not printable (typically characters below 32 or above 128).
Not sure if it the non-standard character will come through on the forum post, but if it does try copying the following character into the text line:
