Sometimes putting a mark or putting a note in our drawing is necessary, specially if you want to specify something, then highlighting it, in order to notice it easily. In my case, whenever this  kind of scenarios arises, I always put an Underline and OverLine on my Text or Mtext, as a highlighter, making it easier to caught the readers of my drawing’s attention.

In AutoCAD, putting an underline or overline in a Text or Mtext is easy, that is, if you know the symbol or the special code to be use. So if happens that you don’t know what to be use, or you knew but forgotten it already due from not using it often. This blog post is for you.

So here is the code on how to put an Underline and Overline in a Text or Mtext. As well some other useful special codes to create an special symbols in AutoCAD.

See Fig. 1 for all the list of the codes for special symbols in AutoCAD.

When you’re modifying your Text , click the @ symbol at the Text Formatting dialog box (Fig.2), to show all the other special codes, then click the encircled text (Other) for more symbol.
