Triangle symbol on 2D dwg

Unread post by christian chu »

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.

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