Circle around the Bullets and Numbering Numbers

Cassidy243 — Tue, 15 Sep 2015 14:47:25 GMT

is there a way to put a circle around the auto numbering in Mtext.

yes make the MTEXT in a Block.

There are no circle features in MTEXT anywhere.

I believe you can create an attributed block that would be your "bullet block" or keynote with leader or not or whatever.

Hello

Welcome to the Autodesk/AutoCAD Forums !

I have a nice routine CFIND from Lee_Mac which does ALMOST the job ...

CFIND ask for something to find - Answer with * to select ALL Text, MText, Attributes (1st attribute of each Block in fact)

and CFIND will draw a circle (Radius = 10.0 on EACH Text, MText & Attributes (1st attribute of eack block in fact) ...

You can easily change the radius at the beginning of the routine ...

So if somebody can remove from this beautiful routine : Attribute selection - Let ONLY Text & MText

AND add a classic AutoCAD selection - NOT ALL the drawing

AND maybe ask for the radius at the beginning

You will have the routine you are asking for ...

Sorry I can't do better because I am not a Lisp/VLisp developper !!

Instead of auto numbering, you have to use special font such as Wingdings ‚ƒ„ or use Unicode characters ①②③④.

The Unicode characters only go to 20. I need 27 suggestions?

㉒ = \U+3257

The Unicode includes 1~50 circled numbers.

As shown below, you can copy into your AutoCAD Mtext editor.

①②③④⑤⑥⑦⑧⑨⑩
⑪⑫⑬⑭⑮⑮⑯⑰⑱⑲
㉑㉒㉒㉓㉔㉕㉖㉗㉘㉙
㉚㉛㉜㉝㉞㉟㊱㊲㊳㊴
㊵㊶㊷㊸㊹㊺㊻㊼㊽㊾
㊿

I am not sure numbers beyond 50 though. But I think you can make your own fonts with Windows Private Character Editor.

I have tested Windows Private Character Editor and yes you can use it to make any new Unicode character including number 51 with a circle.

Step by step instruction of how to use Windows Private Character Editor can be found in the link below:

3wood:
Thanks for posting the information on how to use the Unicode characters in AutoCAD.

30+ years, and I never really needed to figure that out, and it did take some digging, down to you.

\ then u then + then the digits ON THE NUMBER PAD.

So, I was looking for the numbers 1-50 in circles, but the one code you gave for 27 cannot be followed sequentially up/down from the U+3257.

Can you list the codes for all the numbers 1-50?

Thanks!

It is a good day when I learn something new in AutoCAD.

EXCELLENT!
THANKS A LOT!

Thanks again for the code list for circled text.

I found that those codes were in two different fonts, so I found the non-serif font version of all numbers 1-50.

Attached is a pdf print of the codes, as well as a dwg file to copy/paste from.

Hey, I forgot to ask;

Is there a set of circled numbers in Comic Sans font?
