subscript /superscript

[madaryl]

hi to all,

i got a new job..... all day in front of computer using autocad LT 2000.... most of the time we input a value that has a superscript of sometimes subscript.... what's the easiest way to do this in autocad?

thanks a lot in advance!

In mtext, the "^" symbol stacks fractions without any lines -- so if you type "3^ " (note the space), you get a superscript of 3. Putting the space first makes a subscript. I don't think you can do this in single-line text, though (without actually having two pieces of text).

thanks but i can't get any of the subscript or superscript with that ^

if i type

daryl 3^

i would get the same... as i type in.... using mtext.... the same in single line text

is there another way?

thanks

sorry for the delay of my response.....

Sorry, looks like I forgot a step. Once you've typed in "3^ " in mtext, you have to highlight it, then click the "stack" button. (Or right click and select "stack.") Hope that works for you... :-)

thanks i got it..... I can now create a superscript and subscript...

for the other who also want to know how....

for superscript i type

daryl 3^

then highlight and riht click on the 3^... the superscript of 3 is done....

for the subscript

daryl ^3

highlight the right click the ^3..... for subscript.....

Kate M thanks again..... can you share me other character done with stack..... thanks a lot!

As far as I know, there are just three types of stacks. From the help file:
Slash (/) stacks text vertically, separated by a horizontal line.
Pound sign (#) stacks text diagonally, separated by a diagonal line.
Carat (^) creates a tolerance stack, which is not separated by a line.
You can set the Autostack properties to control which options are used -- mine automatically turns "/" fractions into diagonal ones.

One more note: Versions below 2000i don't support diagonal fractions -- just vertical ones.

Glad it worked for you. :-)
