I tired to use alt+9651 to attach a triangle symbol to a dim and it turned out to be a square - see below image - is it weird?

How did you enter the symbol? When I selected it from the feature manager it worked fine.

I know in the past I've tried to use Alt+ symbols in dimension text and it usually doesn't work. It will display the wrong symbol. However, I've always gotten around it by entering the symbol in a Note, copying and pasting into the dimension text, and then deleting the Note.

Thanks - I guess I tried a harder way. :(

You must be an engineer. I'm not. I like simple. 8-)
