Hi @ Alain

I found this

Take a look and tell me

Thanks for the docs; (the one from Eduscol is very old in 1999, the standard has evolved quite a bit since then).

My question is how to write GN and LP surrounded without fiddling with an annotation,

directly into tolerance.

Hello Alain,

For an equation, American software + recent European standards, I'm afraid that the result is equal to hacking ! :-/

For the moment, to get exactly the same shape (2 letters in an oblong) I can only see blocks to add to the dimensions with tolerances. Or 2 phony ribs with GN and LP texts (instead of <DIM>) with the oblong surround option. After that, you can group those 3 sides so that it follows. But it's going to be heavy!

Do you know the number of the standard? This link shows the standards that SW supports http://www.solidworks.fr/sw/products/3d-cad/cad-dimensioning-tolerancing-annotations.htm

Hello Alain,

 

You need to add lines in the file " gtol.sym " in the folder: C:\ProgramData\SolidWorks\SolidWorks 201X\lang\english .

Look for the paragraph " Inspection symbols " (theoretically towards the end of the file)  or any other paragraph in which you can easily find the symbol;

and adds the following lines below (respecting the same arrangement as the others):
 

*GN,GN
A,ARC .5,.5,.5,.90,270
A,LINE .5,0,1.6,0
A,LINE .5,1,1.6,1
A,ARC 1.6,.5,.5,270,90
A,TEXT 1.05,.5,GN

and

*LP,LP
A,ARC .5,.5,.5,.90,270
A,LINE .5,0,1.6,0
A,LINE .5,1,1.6,1
A,ARC 1.6,.5,.5,270,90
A,TEXT 1.05,.5,LP

A little record, and that's it.

By adding a symbol by pressing " Others " when quotating, the rendering should be fine I think.
