Use the ' symbol in a label for denoting feet.

[ckasprzak]

I want to label our pipes to read 213' - 10" - PVC

So it is a 213' pipe with a 10" diameter made of PVC

The 213, 10 and PVC are properties in the table. How do I get the ' symbol to recognize? I get an error if I do double single quotes. This is my expression without the foot symbol after the Pipe_Leng field.

Concat (  Pipe_Leng , ' -',  Dim_1 , '" - ', Material  )

Thanks in advance.

You cannot use your keyboard to put the ' symbol after the length. You can, however, use what's known as The Right Single Quotation Mark which looks like the feet symbol. If you copy the right single quotation mark to your clipboard then you can paste it in the Create Expressions dialog window.

You can try this:

1. Start the mtext command, the Text Editor opens. At your flashing cursor, right click then Symbol=>Other. Image-1.
2. In the Character Map dialog=>enter 'Quotation' in the search box=>Highlight the Right Single Quotation Mark  then click SELECT button so it appears in the Characters to copy section=>click COPY button (The right quotation has been copied to your clipboard.) Image-2.
3. Back in the Create/Modify Expressions window you can paste the right single quotation mark where you normally would enter the ' symbol. Your expression should look like this. Image-3.
