Topic: Odd request concerning font symbols

[Dr. After]

The right click option is already there for 2008, actually.  But this still does not allow a quick keyboard entry.  I would like to have it as "Alt"+<key> or something along those lines...

I'm pretty sure that Randall did something on CAD Vault in VBA as one of his "here's a little thingy what can you do with it" threads that would check keystrokes and do some hijacking so it might be possible with VBA after all.  I might have something at home that I wrote that used it.  I'll see if I can turn it up this weekend.

How would I insert a diameter symbol using the Arial font when my text style uses an SHX file?  (I want to keep the rest of the MTEXT to use the SHX font, only the diameter symbol to use Arial).

This is the entity info of the mleader I'm using as an example:

Code 304 is the contents of an MLeader:
(304 . "CONC. (1'-0\" {\\fArial|b0|i0|c0|p34;\\W0.75;Ø)}")
