What Is The "aproximate" Symbol And Where Is It

My default dimension format is set to 1/16",  occasionally I want to change the format.  I would like to know when a dimension is not of the primary format.  To note this I can put in some trailing text that will have the "APPROX" symbol,  how do I get that symbol?  

 

thanks

There are many symbols used for "approximate".

Whatever, Chief uses "~"  & it also uses "+/-".

I'm going w/ that.

Hey,  wait a minute,  that tilde key is auto?  I think I saw that somewhere....  if that is auto,  that is perfect.

If the tilde is set to display & you don't see it, then the dimension is accurate........but only to 10-12 decimal pts.

I have tildes set to display & then, when I see one, I move whatever to get rid of it.

It seems to me that the ROUNDED VALUE INDICATORS should always be on.  It should be an OOB setting.  I will start using this.  Thanks to whoever started this thread......  oh,  that was me.
