Adding Symbol Text to BOM or Table Cells

You can add symbols such as spherical diameter or plus/minus to text-based table cell entries.

To add symbol text to a table cell:

  1. From the table, double-click a cell.

    If the cell entry is linked to a property, you are prompted to break or retain the link:
    • Break the link to change the table display without changing the property.
    • Retain the link to modify the property.

    The Note toolbar appears.

  2. Type or modify text, and click Add Symbol .
  3. From the Symbols dialog box, click a Symbol library and select a library item.

    For example, click the Modifying Symbols library and select Spherical Diameter.

  4. Click OK.

    The selected symbol appears in the cell.
