Font - Diamond Character

[Anonymous]

.

Within the food industry there is a need to put Square Box Section "on the diamond" namely it is rotated 45deg

This can be notated by a square box that is rotated through 45deg

This notation is used within the annotation.

Unfortunately there isn't a "diamond" character" available.

Can this be corrected.

You will need to create that shape: is there a challenge in doing that? Can you show us what you are looking for?

Hi Duncan,

Which font do you normally use to do this in other applications (outside of AutoCAD)?  I found that WINGDINGS and WINGDINGS2 had some shapes that might do this for you in AutoCAD.

Do you have an image of what you are looking for specifically? Perhaps I can help you find something that will work.

In a multi text window if you hit "alt 4" it puts in a solid diamond.  ♦

@john.vellek the symbol on the right is the closest. However, "alt+4" might work.

Hi @Anonymous,

That's great that it could be so simple 🙂

If you use the Character Mapping Tool in Windows you can browse through any of your TTF fonts to find a variety of special characters.
