Is there a place where I could find a ground symbol in Inventor?

Thank you!

It is very easy to create symbols.

Do you mean like an electrical earthing symbol?

I've used this one in the past. It's an iFeature courtesy of Charles Bliss website http://www.cbliss.com/inventor/iFeatures/index.htm

@Anonymous A 2d line drawing for use in the idw environment or even a part sketch? Or an ifeature/punch to use in the part environment?

There are also at least 4 or 5 "ground" symbols that I am aware of.. Can you show an example of the exact symbol you are looking for in addition to the questions above?

On top of everything else that has been mentioned, I would check out the character map in the text editor.

Thank you all. I ended up creating a symbol.

I thought there might have been a default symbol in the electrical library or the character map. It didn't need to be indented in the ipt, just a call out in the idw.
