Elisabeth83 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Hi We are working in Autocad lt 2012 and in one particular drawing we can't stop the slash (/) from turning into a fraction line . IE the date 08/02 becomes a fraction 8 over 2. Its very frustrating !!!!!!!!!! Help!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSasu Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 While in MText editor, select that troublemaker formatting and chouse Options --> Stack Properties --> Autostack... There you may disable Enable AutoStacking option. Regards, Mircea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Then remove the checkmark where it says "Enable autostacking". Return to your text delete and retype the date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisabeth83 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Hi Thanks but I can't see troublemaker formatting in mtext editing or any options for autostacking. I am I looking in the right place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Did you highlight the offending text and right-click? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisabeth83 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 We have highlighted the text: But have no options relating to stack/autostack etc. Although it seems to be on one computor only. Others have the option to stack/unstack. The stack button in the text editing box also does not work ie is greyed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Try highlighting the fraction and do not include the slash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisabeth83 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Yeah!!! It works!! Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Glad to hear it finally worked. I too had some problems with the feature (stack/unstack) after purposely duplicating your situation so it wasn't until I experimented that I discovered a way to fix it. You're entirely welcomed.

Oops! Sorry, what I wanted to say by "troublemaker formatting" was "the stacked texts that cause you troubles". Anyway, what’s important is that you got your issues solved with ReMark's help.

Regards, Mircea I am for changing the toolbar to read "Troublemaker Formatting". There used to be a way to set up Autostack to only do it if there was a leading space or other special character someplace, probably before or after the "/". I can't seem to find anything about it in my 2009 version. I was able in 2007 version to get 2 /3 to stack as 2/3 and 02/08/2012 to not stack.
