  The content of the Insert Symbol icon box in the
  Geometrical Tolerance panel does not contain
  MICRON (mu) symbol, and this content is not
  customizable.
  .
  Development Request Justification
  .
  Allowing the customization of the content of Insert
  Symbol icon box will let any customer insert its
  own symbols.
  .
  Answer and By-Pass
  .
  Since V5R17, the definition of the engeneering
  symbols may be customized through the drafting
  standard file. That means, it is possible for an
  administrator to customize a standard file in order
  to specify which font and character have to be used
  for a given symbol.
  .
  As the list of available symbols in the icon box may
  not extended, you may modify an existing symbol
  (one of the 11 ones) to specify the character as
  beeing the mu. For more information regarding the
  customization, see the interactive drafting
  documentation.
