Question
A
Using a simple trick you can extend the Inventor annotation functions with the option to insert surface texture symbols (roughness) with predefined texts and symbols, with text copy/paste.
First you need to add the russian ESKD standard to your Inventor. Using the ribbon Tools > Options > Add-Ins open the "Add-In Manager" dialog and enable loading of the module "ESKD Support":
When you now insert the surface texture symbol using Symbols > Surface Texture, the "Surface Texture" will be displayed and here you can choose from predefined and last-used symbol texts.
