Countersink

[@homeCAD]

So I'm looking for a countersink and depth symbols in R14. Is there one? I can't find them anywhere, and I'm sick or writing this stuff out. And not everybody knows what the abbreviations are, so symbols would be nice.

Cool thanks, there really isn't one in R14 though? That's crazy! Seems like a common symbol to me.

Are we talking bathroom fixtures or machining operations? Counter sink is a generic term for a bathroom fixture; countersink is a conical indentation to permit a flat head machine screw/bolt to be driven flush....

I might have some r14 fixtures; send me a PM.

Oh, yeah, sorry. I should have been more specific. I'm referring to the Machining countersink symbol, you know, .375 x 100degrees CSK.
Thanks

Download Romans7GF from this site or from CADDEPOT.COM.

This is an expanded version of Romans which includes (among other things) GDT symbols. Autocad includes at font file named GDT.SHX or AMGDT.SHX. These two files substitute symbols for characters which I personally find awkward.

The expanded Romans file I edited includes these symbols at their proper UNICODE addresses. In the case of the countersink symbol, it is defined at hexadecimal address 02335.

With a font which includes the definition the current font in a drawing, you can type: \u+2335 and the character should display. If a question mark displays, this means the symbol is not included.

Hope this helps.
