AutoCad :: Conversion From Decimals To Fractions?
Dec 4, 2012Where do I go in Autocad 2000 to change from decimal dimensions to fractional dimensions.
View 4 RepliesWhere do I go in Autocad 2000 to change from decimal dimensions to fractional dimensions.
View 4 RepliesI need to show fractions on my drawings rather than descimals.
I have gone into the style manager and have units in inches
I have linear format in diagonal fractions
I have precision at 1/16
I have also made several other changes to centerline color and hidden lines color etc.
I choose save
I choose done
On the drawing, the color changes are made but the dimension still reads in descimals.
How do I get fractions to be applied to the dims on the drawing?
I need
(distof "..")
and
(rtos ..)
as a prompt (VB window or command line).
::Basically I need to push button (my custom command with function like: ^C^C_f2d; - fraction to decimal) and invoke the routine to enter fraction or decimal to bring either
15.125" - will be 1'-3 1/8"
or
1'-3-1/8" - will be 15.125"
same as:
Command: (rtos 15.125)
"1'-3 1/8""
and
Command: (distof "1'-3 1/8")
15.125
but instead of typing (...) I want pop-up texbox for input, or just simple input: 3/5" in command line to get 0.6 .
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?

how to shorten these numbers? by the way this is a pipe label
Inventor 2010
- I have drawing partslists with parameters that change automaticly
- Based on a main assembly with a customized structured BOM, with information I fetch from the individual parts exported parameters (Ex. =Length <part-length>)
- The main assembly is based on many sub-assemblys
- Based on "Make Component" skeletonmodels
- Based on embedded EXCEL worksheets in where I control my parameter values.
Now the problem expl.:
- Total I have about maybe 50 parts, witch have 15 parameters each, that I need to control this way.
- In every single part I have derived it's parameters from the skeleton part, and exported them.
- On some parameters I don't want to show the units, in most of the parameters I don't want the trial zeros.
So in the individual parts parameter table I choose "Custom Property Format" for the exported parametern in every individual part.
-uncheck "Trailing Zeros" and check "Apply to existing...", then uncheck "Unit String" for some parameters.
I lot of setup work with 50 parts, 15 parameters each (750 individual parameters).Every time I change a dimension in the embedded EXCEL worksheet, ex. a pipe dimension and thickness, a diameter for a revolved feature and so on, the units go back to it's default values again and I have to do all this parameter setup "Custom Property Format" again.
Tried the new geolocation today, and found the position markers to be quite useful.
However... Using WGS 84, they only show the latitude/longtitude with 4 decimals. And 0.0001 degree is about 11 meters in real life, so... I was hoping there was a setting to give me at least 5 decimals here.
Is there a way to chage the default setting to always go to all or at least 5 decimail places?
When I take a measurement, I would like to get a more accurate result than 3 decimails, and it's a pain changing this in every part or assembly.
How do you format cells in a table to show numbers as 3-digit decimals? I've tried this...
myTable.Cells(r, c).DataFormat = "#0.000" ' this does not work.
Is there more to it than this?
I was entering some notes, with fractions, in a M text window. The popup that opens when entering fractions asking how you want to display the fractions. I accidentally turned it off, how do I get it back?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I am typing out text and get to a fraction is allows me to stack it diagonally so the 1/4" looks nicer. When i dimension, however, it does not seem to stack the fractions the same way. I took a look at the Format - Dimension setting and did not see the option in there to change it. I would like to have the fractions stack diagonally like they do regular text.

I teach 8th grade tech and we use inventor I needed to display in fractions went to help menu. told me to go to styles & standards and then to styles editor as the help menu says and in the dialog box on the right is the browser it has in it color, lighting, & material. the help menu says there should be dimension to change the style to fraction but it not there.
View 9 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.

The bottom of a diagonally stacked fraction in Mtext aligns to the baseline of the string, which pushes the number with a fraction upward, which looks bad- see attached. Can this be corrected?

But I can't understand how to draw the lines with that measure in fractions. I have my units set in "Architecture : Inches".
For example, in the right line that is: 9'-11 7/8''
What I do is, start the line command, click anywhere on the gril (because it doesn't say where start... so I guess you could click anywhere, although I am not sure about that either). And then I put, @9
I have been working 4-weeks for a new customer. I Run Inventor 2011 mechanical... I have multiple iwd files that have all been done in decimals. The floor workers here want fractions to the 1/32. Is there a easy way to up-date my entire list of drawings with out creating new? Is there a easy way to create a style that I can easily switch to when I draw/design for this customer. I hate fractions!

when i type a fraction in a label the fraction is alwas stacked i have to unstack the fraction but when i unstake the fraction the fraction show up like this 1 1#2. any thoughts about how to fix this? this only happens on one computer when a different user use that same drawing the fraction always show up unstaked 1 1/2.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI found out that if you have a dimension that is keyed you cannot use the custom property format in the fx. so how do I get ilogic to convert to fractions rounded to a 32nd.
When I put this (see below) in my code it changes my custom iproperty to a yes-no
fractionString = RoundToFraction(Dim_F, 1/32, RoundingMethod.Round)
Here is my code that drives my table in a drawing but the dimensions come as decimal and I need fractions.
If Hole_F_Type = "NONE" TheniProperties.Value("Custom", "F")= "-"ElseIf Hole_F_Type = "2-Hole" TheniProperties.Value("Custom", "F")= Parameter("Dim_F")ElseIf Hole_F_Type = "S1" TheniProperties.Value("Custom", "F")= "S1"& "-" & Parameter("Dim_F")ElseIf Hole_F_Type = "S2" TheniProperties.Value("Custom", "F")= "S2"& "-" & Parameter("Dim_F")ElseIf Hole_F_Type = "S3" TheniProperties.Value("Custom", "F")= "S3"& "-" & Parameter("Dim_F")End If
On our older 2007 version, we used the command %%140 (and so on) to make the stacked fraction 9/16 in our string of text. Now with version 2010, all of the fractions (where this command was used) display as a question mark. This is a major issue since now all of our isometric drawings are displaying this in regards to text.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if there is a way to convert many regular fractions to stacked fractions without editing each one. I have a file full of fractions that all need to be stacked. It seems it would be quicker if I could select all the fractions and stack them at once rather then edit each one individually.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to use diagnol fractions in my label text for 1/2 and 1/4 deltas. It displays and seems to work fine in Autocad, but when I plot, the numbers have trouble displaying themselves.
I'm using a light color from our .ctb, so I thought that was the problem, but that doesn't seem to be the case (I tried two heavier lineweights and it only got worse). Increasing the percentage size of the fraction also has no effect.
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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to create a fraction with illustrator in one of my drawings but I can't seem to be able to do it.
I went on the internet to see how I could do it and I learned that I should write my fraction like text1/text2 then go to the OpenType panel and select fractions.
Somehow when I select my fraction and go to the OpenType panel none of the possible options are available. They are writen in a pale color and inaccessible. How do I do to make those options available? Do i need some kind of add-on?
