Use Greek math symbols to my text

Post by jocpo » Wed Apr 19, 2023 4:37 pm

MacOS Monterey
QCAD PPO Version:3.26.2.0 (3.26.2)

I want to use the theta (𝜽) symbol in text formulas I'm adding to my drawing. How do I do this? Also what about PI and other common symbols?

In a previous version of QCAD I use with a macOS Mojave drive a variety of math symbols are available in the text window.

Any help regarding this matter would be appreciated.

Hi,

This should be available in the Text Editor .. Right high .. The Omega button (Specials Characters)
Last listed is 'Others' and that opens a character map.

A more extensive list is available with a right click on the Label field of a Dimension entity .. Insert Symbol
On creation in the Options Toolbar and afterwards in the Property Editor.

If these don't show on a MacOS then I would consider filing a Bug Report: https://www.ribbonsoft.com/bugtracker/
You need a separate account there or register for a new one.

Regards,
