Please HELP with Dimension Override Input Formatting

Ok, here's what I'm looking at:

I have dimensioned an offset on my drawing. The distance comes out to be 6 1/4 (diagonally stacked).

My boss says that he wants it to read 6 1/2 (diagonally stacked), but not to change the drawing because we would have to change other specs too ("it's for a mine canopy so it's probably not going to be that close anyways", he said).

I selected the dimension, then right-click, select properties, scroll down to the text section, and there is a empty field (box) called Text override. I typed 6 1/2", and when i enter it, it shows up on the screen exactly like that.

Can you do a diagonal fraction in the Text Overide box, for instance, like 15 7/8(with the 7/8 being diagonally formatted)? If so, how would you go about doing this?

My boss doesn't want to redo the drawing to change this, and said to just change what it shows on the screen, but all the other dimensioning in the drawing is in diagonal fraction formatting and I need this to match. He keeps asking me if I got it yet, and I've explained to him what I'm trying to do, and he insist ,"There has to be a way. Figure it out."

Any help is greatly appreciated as I need to get this done a.s.a.p. Thanks again!

You could use the text editor, select the dimension text, highlight the text to be stacked and right click on it, on the menu that pops up select 'Stack Properties'.

This now gives you a dialogue box where you can change the stack style, size, and position of the stacked text.

Thanks so much for the quick help! It worked perfectly. Thanks again!

I am shaking my head from side to side and planting my face in my palm regarding your bosses opinion on this.

This is my first time to reply or post. Why don't you just set your precision to 1/2" for that dimension since it is not critical.
