   Only the DIN, GB, JIS, and ISO standards support edge symbols.

2. Select the object you want to attach the symbol to.
3. If you attached the symbol to a line, in the drawing area, specify the start point for the leader.

   If you attached the object to an arc, circle, ellipse or spline, skip to the next step.

4. Specify the second point of the edge symbol leader and press ENTER.
   Tip:

   • If the symbol is attached to an arc, circle or line: To allow non-perpendicular leaders, press the Toggle Symbol Leader Orthogonal Mode key (SHIFT + F, by default) as you drag the crosshairs.
   • If the symbol is attached to a line: To make the first leader segment perpendicular to the attached line, move the cross hairs so that the leader is approximately perpendicular, and track along the alignment path that is displayed.
5. In the Edge Symbol dialog box, specify the edge symbol requirements.
   • To insert an edge symbol without specific data, select Allow undefined size and click Burr or passing permitted, or Undercut required. To define the direction, select from the drop-down list.
   • To set the edge symbol data, enter the Edge symbol value in the upper or lower box in the parameters area or select the value from the drop-down list.
   • To display the standard revision next to the symbol, select Show Standard Label.
   • To add the all-round designation, click the All-round button.
