plus/minus symbol before numbers in tables

Anonymous — Tue, 03 May 2016 10:19:09 GMT

Hello,

I have linked some cells between them. They contain numbers and it works but I want the cells which have the links to show minus/plus symbol before numbers, they show minus already but no plus. Would it be possible?

Thanks.

Thanks for the fast reply. But I need that the linked cell shows the value of another cell with a minus or a plus symbol, depending on if it's a positive or a negative number, maybe your response is still valid but I don't know how to proceed.

Thanks.

Unlike Excel, AutoCAD has no conditional formatting for tables, as far as I know. The absence of a minus sign indicates that the number is positive. It might be possible to create a complex formula field to analyze the sign of the value and to add the positive sign but it would be hardly worth the effort.

I've got a problem! I use the autocad 2025 and i cant insert the plus-minus symbol in text. Every time when I write %%p it displays ¼ in Autocad 2025

I've tried to insert thr symbol from tablet but it also displays ¼ I've tried to write Alt+0177 but it again displays the same ¼

Whats problem with Autocad 2025?
