    All around symbol

    Is there a way to add the all around symbol to a note or dimension?  I see how to add it to a weld symbol and a feature control frame, but that doesn't help me too much just yet...

    would the "Circularity" symbol work?

    Alas, it would not.  I need the symbol on the leader for all around profile.

    Do you mean something like in the attached? If so - it all controlled by Surface Texture DB.

    Best Regards,

    Yessin.

    It needs to be on the first jog of the leader, closest to the arrow head.

    Well, I am out of suggestions. What you are asking for is certainly not in the Australian standard AS 1100.

    Which standard do you reefer to?

    Alas, I am not referring to any standard.  The print I am wanting this note for would stay on house, so I am trying to simplify the language.  It would be in reference to a radius around a complicated profile.  I'm simply going to add "ALL AROUND" to my dimension and leave it at that.  

    Thank you for all the suggestions!

    Hi Evelin,

    While technically you can create a symbol you are after using Sketch symbols tool (see the attached) I still would be very shy to deviate from the National Standard.

    Regards,

    Igor.

    Thank you.  I'm just adding "ALL AROUND PROFILE" and leaving it at that.
