Is there a convenient way to input special characters in ViaCAD? There are a number of unicode engineering symbols I would like to use (e.g. counterbore, countersink, depth, diameter, etc.) but inputing them into ViaCAD with the Mac character palette does not display right.
The characters always paste into the ViaCAD text field in a much smaller size and display in the drawing like a subscript.
I have tried varying the fonts used but not luck yet.

I will have to double-check my memory, but in the past couple of days I tried to enter some and they went to block shapes. I'll try again tonight.

It might be nice if there were alias fields so that when we have a BOM or spreadsheet of parts names, we could 1-1 match them based on a list. Then, as with dual-dimensioning (yeh, a book titled "Technical Drawing and Design" by Louis Gary Lamit, from 1994 said dual dimensioning could or should become a thing of the past based on CAD systems being digital...), we could have alternative names for parts based on the audience or shop receiving the work.

This could save a lot of translation time and mistakes, assuming that someone conversant with the target language is involved with the list-making. As time goes by, the list could grow, and as we add field titles/entries to the layers and items we could have drop-down/pop-up suggestions.
