How can I get GD&T symbols to work? When I put in simple symbols for counterbore, depth and countersink (for example) AutoCAD fills in with a square box representing that the symbol can't be found or not readable by the software. I assume it has to do with me being on a mac, but how can I fix?

Hi Kush,
AutoCAD allows you to add GD&T symbols to drawings using the TOLERANCE command:

You can also use the QLEADER command to automatically attach GD&T symbols to leaders:

I attached a tutorial "Using GD&T Tools in AutoCAD" to my post. It explains details of using GD&T Tools in AutoCAD for Windows, but on Mac the workflow is the same.
