Quick stamping
As an alternative to steps 4 to 6, you can create a characteristic without characteristic text if, for example, you only want to mark an item with a stamp or if you do not want to define the characteristic properties until later.
1) Move the mouse pointer to the characteristic position, press the Shift key on the keyboard, hold it down and double-click with the left mouse button. (Tip: You can also use the Caps Lock key if you want to create several characteristics.)
1) An attributive characteristic of the class “Word specification” is created.

5 Enter characteristic text Enter the relevant characters of the characteristic in the “Characteristic text” field using the keyboard. You can insert graphic symbols at the cursor position using the buttons below. By way of example, a characteristic of the specification elements “⌀42”, an upper deviation of “0.2” and a lower deviation of “-0.1” is applied. Click on the button and enter the text “42 +0,2 -0,1”:

Create characteristic without text
Alternatively, you can create a characteristic without characteristic text if, for example, you only want to mark an item with a stamp or if you want to define the characteristic properties later.
