Hello
I'd like to set COG symbol at my drawing in .idw file, but not standrad cross.
Does enyone know is it possible to add icon like this:
I've seen once someone had put it to standard COG, but I don't remember how.
I'll be grateful for any tips.

Could be that what you saw was someone who created this as a custom symbol, and then dropped it into their drawing on top of the standard COG symbol? I'm not seeing any way of setting the COG to anything but a center mark.

Yes, it’s possible:
- In your drawing, create a new Sketched Symbol icon, setting the insertion point to Center. (The size of this should be bigger that your Center Mark);
- Make the COG (a Center Mark) visible in the view you wish to place that new symbol;
- insert your new Sketch Symbol icon at that COG (Center Mark point).

You just beat me by a whisker, Chris ;-))

Easier method is to simply use the ORIGIN POINT icon for ordinate dimensions which is already built into inventor.
Adjust your dimension style to use the ORIGIN ICON, then simple select Ordinate Dimension and place the origin to the COG center point in the view.
You can end there, or add dimensions if you wish.

Good call! Never using Ordinate dimensions, I would never have thought of that.
