Graphical Cross Reference - Mr. Nate Holt Please

Hi,

My company schematic diagram need a special graphic font shown as the attached picture file which is Relay Form-C. I understand that there is an AutoCAD Compiled Shape file (AcadEref.SHX) can be used to change it. Can you please tell us how to change it into the desired graphic font for our company?

Thanks in advance,
Patrick

Sorry Patrick,
I don't think this 100% line-by-line text-font approach will work for what
you want to do. The only way I can think of to show the cross-reference
graphics like you show here is to create a separate cross-reference symbol
and then write an external post-processing utility (could be written in
AutoLISP) to populate the symbol's attributes with the cross-ref info. For
now, I guess you could let the existing data go in, copy it by hand to the
special cross-ref symbol you create, and then erase the AcadE cross-ref
leaving your manual version. Not a happy thought, I realize.
Nate.

Hi Patrick,

There is a possible workaround. This isn't exactly what you want but it
might be modified to get you close. Take a look at this blog posting when
you have time:
