Question:

How do I add a silcrow (section) symbol (§) in OpenRoads SignCAD?

 

Answer:

The Highway fonts in OpenRoads SignCAD do not support the silcrow (section) symbol (§). To create the silcrow (section) symbol, use a font that supports the symbol like Arial.

1. Open Word and Insert the silcrow (section) symbol. Select and copy the silcrow (section) symbol.

2. In OpenRoads SignCAD, press <Ctrl-F> to bring up the Font dialog. Press the More Fonts button.

3. In the Font dialog, select a font like Arial that supports the silcrow (section) symbol and set the desired font style and size. Press OK.

4. Pick the Text tool and press <Ctrl-V> to paste the silcrow (section) symbol.

Below is a video that shows how to add the silcrow (section) symbol with other legend in a sign.
