You can add symbols and reference data to annotation text and dimension text. When a dialog box such as the Callout dialog box or the Dimension Prefix dialog box provides buttons to do so, you can click the buttons to insert the symbols. In some cases, when the dialog box does not provide a button interface to insert the symbol directly, you can type a three-character symbol code instead.
For many types of annotations, such as text boxes, feature control frames, weld symbols, and hole tables, as well as dimension text and drawing view captions, you can avoid typing symbol codes using the Select Symbols and Values dialog box.
The following tables are organized by category:
The three-character code in the left-most column displays the corresponding symbol shown in the right-most column, or it fetches the matching value from the model. The codes must be typed exactly as listed. They are valid for the Solid Edge ANSI Symbol and Solid Edge ISO Symbol fonts.
