Latest Machining Symbols in Annotations

Hi

 

In Inventor after using the Hole command you can use the Hole/Thread Notes command to present your hole information to the latest standards, in this case BS8888:2013. 

 

Could someone tell me if it is possible to quickly do the same in AutoCAD 2014 or would I have to create my own suite or set of standards for this to happen. I have attached an image of what I am attempting to re-create in AutoCAD for those mechanical designers not on Inventor.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Plain Autocad is a general use cad software for every industry and user on the planet, INVENTOR only does what you want for your line of work.
You will probably need to upgrade to AutoCAD Mechanical or create your Oen content in plain AutoCAD to do what you need.

You can use text editor on the dimension to achieve what you desire. See attached. For additional symbols use the GDT font and a lower case "w" for countersunk hole, "v" for counterbore hole and "x" for the depth symbol.
