Tips for subscripts and superscripts in CAD
Thread Content
Entering superscripts and subscripts has caused me quite a few troubles; occasionally I’ve learned a few small tricks from others, and now I’d like to share them. The steps for setting superscripts and subscripts in CAD are as follows: 1. Use the MTEXT (multi-line text) command (or click button A in CAD). 2. For a superscript, such as m2, write it as m2^; select 2^ and then click the a/b button. 3. For a subscript, such as m2, write it as m^2; select ^2 and then click the a/b button. 4. For both a superscript and a subscript, such as Rby, write it as mb^y; select b^y and then click the a/b button. It’s very simple; I hope you like it
Thank you, OP; your tags are very interesting.
Thank you to LZ for providing: handshake
Thank you, OP. Before, I would always write big characters or small ones and arrange them in the proper positions
First, select the characters that you want to turn into superscripts or subscripts, then use the following shortcut keys (the same ones used in Word): use Ctrl+Shift+ (+/=) for superscripts, and Ctrl+ (+/=) for subscripts. However, these functions can only be used in multi-line text; they don’t work in single-line text. In that case, as mentioned by the person in post 6, you have to use a larger font for one character and a smaller font for another, and arrange them in the proper positions. I wonder if anyone has any better methods for single-line text?
Well, this isn’t a very good way; before we would also write a large character and a small character
I already knew your method, but I don’t use it. Since multi-line text is used rarely and single-line text is what is used more often, it’s still better to use one large line and one smaller line. Because editing multi-line text is too slow. . . . . . So it’s not necessary.
Many hands make light work; let’s discuss it together, and we’ll figure out any difficult problems~
CAD text editing is not good; these days we often use single-line text, but that option is no longer available. So, either we have to write in large characters or small characters, or else create blocks for the text.
Thanks for sharing; it’s more convenient to have the commonly used ones ready.
For single-line text, one needs to use a font used by design firms; simply add the prefix as specified by that font, but this can lead to confusion when communicating with others.
Good method, can it be used with other fonts?
Great, sharing experiences helps everyone improve!
