Underline attribute blocks in Inventor

Mike.Wohletz — Fri, 01 Dec 2017 00:36:01 GMT

Is it possible to make the text underlined in an attributed block inside an Inventor drawing? In AutoCAD, the %%U will make it all happen but I am yet to find a way to make that happen inside Inventor. If my text was a constant length I would just use a line but unfortunately, it is not always the even close to the same length.

Thanks

Mike

In you drawing template, edit the fields(attributes) you want to underline, edit the text, highlight it and press Ctrl+U and it will underline. Save the block and save the template. When you add a model view that contains that field, it will be entered and underlined. See the attached Screencast.

The provided will work for an inventor text or field reference but I am working with AutoCAD attributed block inside of an inventor drawing.
Thanks

@Mike.Wohletz I think the terminology is getting confusing here.

I'm reading it as you are defining an attribute block in AutoCAD then importing the file (.dwg) into the Inventor drawing (.idw) and it doesn't show up underlined?

Do you have a screenshot or screencast of the workflow of your desired behavior?
