putting copyright symbol in PCB

autodeskguest

I'd like to put the copyright ("c" within a circle) symbol within text on a

PCB, like this:

 

 

 

I tried to use the ascii character copied into the clipboard and in the text

info dialog window it shows fine, but on the PCB it is a comma-looking

character.

 

I know that I could manually draw it, but then if I move it around there is

a greater chance I'll not properly copy all the pieces.  I could also make

it a package, but again it would then be seperate from the text that may

move around the board throughout layout.

 

Is there a more inherent internal mechanism to support high-order ascii

characters such as the copyright symbol?

 

thanks,

..dane

    Why not simply draw an arc and a circle?

     

    I can do both of these, however it is a minor nusiance to have to group all

    of the pieces when I wish to move it somewhere else.   I was hoping Eagle

    would support high-order ASCII characters for ease-of-use, that's all.

     

    Please note that ulrimately when generating production output,

    like Gerber files, for instance, you might end up losing those

    characters again, because they are not supported by Gerber.

     

    Using only 7bit ASCII characters saves you a lot of trouble image
