To Customize Bend Notes
You can customize each of the symbols used in bend notes (formed, rolled, up, and down).
1. Make a backup copy of the following files, the backup will be used to restore the original files:
◦ <loadpoint>/text/usascii/special.src
◦ <loadpoint>/<machine_type>/text/usascii/special.fnt
2. Open <loadpoint>/text/usascii/special.src with an appropriate file editor and make the desired changes. As you modify the file remember that "m" means move, "d" means draw, and numbers are x and y coordinates:
◦ To modify the "rolled bend" text symbol, change the section just after the lines:
# Upside-down U rolled bend
"code 128 80"
◦ To modify the "formed bend" text symbol, change the section just after the lines:
# Formed bend
"code 131 83"
◦ To modify the "down arrow" signifying bend down, modify the instructions after the lines:
# Down arrow
"code 129 81"
◦ To modify the "up arrow" signifying bend up, modify the instructions after the lines:
# Up arrow
"code 130 82"
3. After completing your modifications, compile the font with the command:
<loadpoint>/<machine_type>/obj/compile_font
<loadpoint>/text/usascii/special.src
<loadpoint>/<machine_type>/text/usascii/special.fnt

• You can copy the .fnt file to another machine's <loadpoint>/<machine_type>/text/usascii/special.fnt of the same machine type.
• You can copy the .src file between machines of different types, and recompile it on the new machine type.
