    When typing text, type %%D.

    Here is a list of %% text tweaks.

    %% c = diameter
    %% d = degree
    %% o = overline
    %% p = +/-
    %% u = underline

    Even better. Cheers

    Is it possible to change the width and length of a layout after it's been started? I know you can enter points outside of the L/W dimensions but how do you make the grid fit a larger size? Thanks again.

    Do you mean plotting area on a layout tab? If so, you can do a page set-up & change your printer settings to accommodate different page sizes.

    ALT+248 (on the numpad) should work also. I used this below.

    N15°57'18"W

    Er.. Dont think so. When you start a drawing from scratch you enter the width and length, in my case 400 x 500. I now find that is too small. I want to make it 400x 800. It's not that I want to plot it to paper I want the grid lines to extend to 800. Hope this makes sense. Thanks

    I wonder why just saying just 'thanks' is considered too short to post the message. Most odd.

    But Thanks.
