carvemytomb Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I am having a problem with Annotative Dimensions and fractional inches. What appears to be happening is this: when a "space" appears between numbers, letters or symbols in a dimension, the annotative dimension views this as a "new line of text", and places the following numbers, letters or symbols on the next line. I attempted to change the width of the text box, but this does not help, as it is already wide enough. I noticed that when I remove the space between the number 7 and the fraction 1/2 (see images below), the problem goes away; this is what lead me to believe the annotative dimension is treating the space as a new line of text. How do I stop annotative text from doing this without having to remove the space? Please help, and thank you.

bjenk8100 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 this format 1'-1 1/8 is what you want. crucial. Looks fine. If i am misunderstand sry. BTW dont ever override or put text over a dimension. If this is not what your talking about I apologize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtkell Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Maybe if you modify your dimension style to include a stacked option for fraction format under the "primary units" tab it will give you a look that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
