I need to override a dimension and I need it to be a diagonally stacked fraction (8 1/4). How do I do this?
I know there is a box in properties for text override, but it won't stack my fraction for me.
How to set default to stack diagonally? It used to work automatically, but somehow it turn off so that every fraction I write needs to be highlighted and then converted by pressing the a/b button.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am using the following in the text override field for a dimension:
3'-8S1/2"
And this creates 3'-8 1/2" with the fraction as a horizontal format. What I want is a diagonal format for the fraction. What is the proper syntax for this.
I wrote the code below (allow the user to pick points in different viewports and then override an existing dimension's text with the difference in X values. The (hopefully) last issue is that the fractions should be vertically stacked and at 100% text size.
(defun c2text ()
(command "mspace")
(setq p1 (getpoint "Select left point "))
[Code]....
How do I set it so that when I type fractions in a text box it automatically keeps them as non-stacked fractions rather than horizontally or diagonally stacked?

We open the same drawing on different computers at work and on one computer the number will be 21/2 but on the next computer that opens the same dwg the 1/2 will have been bumped down to the the following line. I don't know if this is a problem with the autostack properties, although I can't find anything about that, or if its a problem with the tabs.
I'm completely at a loss and its becoming a problem because if one person opens a project to plot it and it looks fine but the next person opens it and every mtext in the dwg is wrong it becomes very time consuming to fix.
Is it possible to override a dimension with some sort of formula or function that relates to the length of the dimension?
A simple linear scaling might be possible by inventing a new unit with the appropriate conversion ratio, but that wouldn't work. What I need for the dimension to display a length 400 less than the actual length.
Is there a way to override a dimension and have it shown as a GD&T Basic dimension. I can override a dimension with the text option but not with a box around the letter. It sounds strange to do this but the letter represents a dimension in a chart format that are Basic dimensions.

I've searched extensively for a solution to this yet I can't find a solution that works. The >Drawing Setup>Scale tab doesn't seem to exist in this version, and I've tried setting all the CreateDimOverride values in the registry to 0, but even that isn't working.

At work we occasionally find the need to override a dimension with a text description. Is it possible to stack this text?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI would like to overide the dimension value with a letter - Dim "A" etc. but the overide box will not accept an alphabetical input. At present, the only way I can get around this is by sketching the basic dimension box separately.
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy goal is to be able to select a line and a dimension and then have the line's length appear as the text override for the dimension. I have the code to substitute the variable "dist" for the dimension text:
(setq dimselected (entsel "
Select Dimension:"))
(setq newlength dist)
(command "dimedit" "n" newlength dimselected "")
but am having problems extracting the line's length to the variable and setting setting it equal to the variable. To make things more interesting, the value needs to be in inches with fractional inches accurate to 1/16".
I have created several stacked walls in my model and I am to the point of dimesioning my walls. I am wanting to dimension to the centerline (core) of walls; however, when I try to dimension a stacked wall it won't give me the choice to dimension to the core centerline.

I'm using Sheet Set Manager in Autocad 2011. I'm using 'page setup override', and as plot area 'print extents'. So far, so good. Until someone forgets something outside the title block, and the extents feature is not good anymore (several people working in the same projects).
So, I decide to use as plot area 'Layout' instead, typing the X & Y to determine the area to be plotted.
Now, the setup "override" doesn't override. It’s using the drawing plot area from the drawing itself, which completely defeats the purpose. Am I missing something?
Is there a way to Find and Replace or change the global properties of a drawing from horizontally stacked fractions to Vertical or vis a vis? (WITHOUT INDIVIDUALLY CHANGING EACH ONE) Ive got mixed stacked settings throughout a number of drawings and I want a single uniform appearance.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI initially told AutoCAD to stack all of the fractions but I think I have since changed my mind. Where is that setting that I can turn it off in my template file so all new files will not stack fractions? I assume that setting will disable it for text and dimensions?

View 7 Replies View RelatedMy Inventor's playing with me... When I use Leader text and type a fraction, a message box pops up asking me if I want to stack the fractions. I don't, which has always been the default, so I just hit "Enter". Suddenly, it's decided to go ahead and stack them, and now the box does not come up, so I can't tell it not to. Where do I choke it to get it back to not stacking the fractions, or at least give me the option box?? R2010, S.P.0.
