Feature Control Frames within Text Editor for notes Inventor 2017

[Mark.ValentiGV5E9]

I'd like to incorporate FCF's within the Text Editor notes in our drawings. Would this be able to be accomplished with iLogic? Other solutions/suggestions welcome

Hi! If something cannot be done manually, it is less likely doable in iLogic.

Many thanks!

Hello  @johnsonshiue,

Could you please clarify if it’s possible to manually add Feature Control Frames within a Text in Inventor? I’ve been trying to include some general notes above my title block so they can be reused across multiple drawings, but I haven’t found a solution in the forum. Is there a workaround for this?

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance!

Hello and welcome to the forum.

As @johnsonshiue mentioned in his earlier reply, there might be a way to do this with some sort of programming solution.  There is currently no way to do this inside of the Text editor.  To accomplish this manually, you would have to place the text and then add the FCF near it manually from the Symbols palette.

If you would like to ask about possible programming solutions, you could post your full question in the Inventor Programming forum, for the experts there to have a look at.  Good luck.

Hi! I don't believe it is doable. Those GD&T symbols cannot be inserted to the Text Editor.

Many thanks!

Thank you for both replies!
I will then check the Inventor Programming forum.
