Hello
I want to create symbols to integrate them into a dimension, keeping the principle below
So I want to create a small library in the already existing list,
my symbols will be triangles filled in black with a number in white,
thank you in advance for your help,
Julian.
Hello
I remember a similar topic

may the force be with you.
Hello
Thank you for your answer, I took a look and I started to make some tests, rather conclusive,
As soon as I work on it again (I think end of this week), I'll post what I did,
Have a nice day.
Hello
To help the next ones, here is the solution to create personal symbols,
1- copy the GTOL.sym file and paste it in a specific folder to differentiate the original one and your character, the goal is that it will be very easy to go back to the default config as you didn't modify the original file (WARNING, do not rename the file).
2- Open the GTOL.sym file (personal) with the notepad.
3- Then follow the solidworks help to understand how a symbol is coded (very understandable, that's how I was able to create my symbols) links to help =>http://help.solidworks.com/2017/french/SolidWorks/sldworks/c_understanding_the_gtol_sym_file.htm.
4- After reading the help, I advise you to take out the graph paper, very useful to make a grid and have the coordinates of your future symbol.
5- Now just transform your symbol into code, use the existing symbols, see below the symbols I created:
The Code
6- you now just have to change the file location in the solidworks settings "Symbol library file", you have to delete the old one to put yours, it is impossible to put 2 libraries at the same time, that's why you should not delete the original codes of your file but just add yours below
Here you have created your personal symbol library,
Have a good day everyone,
Julian.
