Arc Length Symbol missing from list

Hi

 

What happened to the 'Arc Length' symbol in 2016?

 

I use it all the time, and now I can't find it.

 

I tried using the Unicode character with the code 2312 - i.e. \U+2312, but this not play nicely with AutoCAD, and did not export correctly.

 

Perhaps I have missed it? (Before, you mention the profile symbol, I am looking for the flatter one, the symbol that is automatically placed with an arc dimension.)

 

Inventor has a terrible way of displaying the arc length, so I have to jump through hoops to display the dimension in a neater format.

 

Else, which character set does it come from, so I can find it again.

 

Thanks.

If you scroll down in the edit dimension box there is the special character button. (you can just see the top of it in your screenshot.)
Hitting that it will default to the AIGDT font which contains the arc length symbol.

Hi

 

Thanks, figured as much.  I only have to test the interoperability between the two programs, before your reply I found it in "GDT" font set and started using GDT_IV25.

 

So I have now moved to AIGDT, and will see how it goes.

 

Thanks.
