%%"Code" for arc length?

Good morning everyone,

 

I was wondering if anyone either knew a good resource for this information or just knows it... I commonly use alt-codes (Alt+0176, Alt+0233 etc) and the %% codes (%%d, %%c, etc.) on titleblocks, dimensions, etc.

 

I am doing a custom project and was wondering if anyone knew the %% code for arc length?

 

It's not a big deal but the neurotic side of me wants to write it 'properly' instead of just "arc length" in the title block.

 

I guess I could just copy the dimension, explode it, and use it that way if I must, but I was hoping I could learn the alt / %% code as well.

 

Thanks!

A small case k will give you an arc length sign using the gdt font. No real need to use the %% format when you can just change the font of a single character, even in a string of text using (as an example) arial font.
