I have been using RHINO for over a decade now as a manufacturer, Creating precision engineering models of Residential and commercial audio / Video systems integrations. I use Rhino to create all of the parts files for manufacture with its inherent ability to export virtually into any other CAD/CAM s…

Have you tried downloading GD&T font and using Rhino’s text functions to insert the symbols? 2 Free gdt fonts - FontSpace Instant downloads for 2 free gdt fonts. All of them are 100% free for commercial-use!

[image] RBL: Has there been any further development on this? Not that I can see. The release target is set to future on the feature request and when that changes to a version number, it’s getting close to being worked on. Sorry I can’t be more specific.

[image] RBL: said it would be useful for those who use Rhino in Manufacturing. I’m not disagreeing - I would also use that in Rhino. I was just wondering if you had a workflow that puts that feature as the number 1 on your wishlist of things that the Rhino team should work on.

GD&T would be appreciated but if I can have only one wish for an improvement it would be for a fully functioning BOM feature. GD&T would be number 2

Thanks Jim, I’ll give this a try.

Tried the Fonts, and yes its an option but takes a bit of effort using the Unicode and hunting down each symbol. I have some other GD&T fonts other then these and again its more work then what I have done in the past. The method I was using is quicker. Which is to copy and paste the symbols that I…

This might not be exactly what you’re looking for and probably more complicated than the method you’re currently using, but thought it was worth mentioning its existence, http://www.rhino3d.com/resources/914

Thanks, I have that. Went a little further looking into what Jim suggested. The font is called Y14.5M-2009 and by itself works but needs a chart to use and is usable but clumsy. But what is not clear and took some looking to find is that there is a "Y14.5M-2009 FEATURE CONTROL GENERATOR" from th…

[image] RBL: I’ve been playing with it for a day and it does work well for what I need it for. I’ve installed font Y14.5M-2009 but the installer for the generator says that font Y14.5-2009 (that is, without the “M”) is required. Where did you find that one?

http://www.fontspace.com/category/gdt and http://p-00-kanold.com/?page_id=7 Were the only two sites I went to for the files. When IT was installing it they were having some problems with it also. I suggest installing an older version of the frame generator first and then the latest version, and …
