Need help with symbol texts

Hi everyone,

 

Usually, when I need to apply text (engraving) on a plastic part design, I write the text from the text menu and convert it to lines from which I creat the subtraction solid.

 

I have a project in which I need to engrave mathematic symbols like (≥) or exponentiation like 10^4

but the powershape doesn't seem to accept that kind of texting.

 

Has anyone came across to a similar situation or can give a solution for this?

 

Thanks in advance.

You need to find the right font to use. Google "font for math symbols" or something similar.  UniversalMath1 BT and Symath are two on my PC that look promising. You need to find a map of the characters so that you know what ke makes the charcter you want. I'm heading out, so no time to search right now.  Good luck.
