Go to the link below and get the instructions to use the extended
characters that are now defined in the AutoCAD fonts.

To switch to the international keyboard you use Alt+Shift. When you have
finished press Alt+Shift to go back to your standard keyboard.

You will the be able to enter m² much more easily.

This is because the drawing has used a customised font that has }
display a ². You will have to edit it as I indicated in my other reply,
or get the person to send you the font file if they are permitted to do
so.

How can i draw this symbol the only way i'm drawing this at the moment is by using 2 font boxes and having one font a different size then the other

in 2007/8 you can use the symbol in the MTEXT editor (SQUARED) in earlier releases I used to type 2^ then highlight the characters and use the stack button a/b to elevate the 2 a
nd reduce it's size

In some fonts (not all of them), they already have a superscript 2 in there. Hold down the LEFT Alt key and then on the keypad type in 0178 and voila you have a superscript 2 as in ²
