Error description
Scenario : Under AIX : 1. Open a new model. In TEXTD2/CREATE/TEXT/SIMPLE, with GR NLS_ISO1 font selected, create a new text zone. 2. Try to write a diameter character by ctrl+alt+w. It doesn't work. 3. Change : GR CHR_DSUS Result: ctrl+alt+w combination creates a diameter symbol. . Under SUN/Solaris, graphism NLS_ISO1, ctrl+alt+w gives the correct greek letter for the diameter sign. But, under AIX, graphism NLS_ISO1, ctrl+alt+w gives an upside down "?" for the diameter symbol. Why are there several behaviours depending on the OS whereas the documentation suggests just one ?

Problem summary
Engineering symbols with the NLS_ISO1 font <br>*DS ONLY DLR on 12 Mar. 2002 =================== . Numero PMR: 706 646 83023 It is written in the documentation, that the engineering symbol s are available in all the DS fonts (CHR_DSxx) Cust must use the NLS_ISO1 font. And he'd like to write a diameter symbol with it because NLS_ISO1 graphism is strongly recommended for the DXF/DWG translation. That's impossible on AIX, but it's possible on SUN. . If it's impossible to get the diameter symbol on AIX with NLS_ISO1, cust wants to be sure the CHR_DSUS diameter symbol will be understood on AutoCAD, with the simplex font. That should be because, in $CAT_CUST/adm/dxf/character_font.tbl , CHR_DSUS is one of the fonts taken into account in the dxf translation. . Could you tell me why, with GR NLS_ISO1, typing ctrl+alt+w, you obtain an upside down "?" on AIX and a upper case phi letter on Solaris ? Can the CHR_DSUS graphism be fully translated in the AutoCAD Simplex font ? Because, in the "About the Catia.dxf/dwg translator", here is what is written : "Character font mapping" paragraph. "From DXF/DXWG to CATIA translation creates a new CATIA model where texts are on NLS_ISO1 format. This default font, which permits to support most of the languages, is included in standard CATIA text tables for CATIA 417." "More about texts" paragraph. "In order to manage texts inside Catia, when importing or translating a dxf/dwg file, the Catia drafting product is needed, as well as texts and dimensions project file tables. Also remember NLS_ISO1 font must be included in your prj." ====> So, NLS_ISO1 is strongly recommended. Salutations.
