trouble entering fraction of an inch

[berol]

Using Autocad 2000 LT. Trying to draw a line 2'-63/4" long. I seem to be able to draw a line 2'-6" but when I add the fraction it won't enter. Am in architectual and using 1/32" resolution. Also tried putting a space between 6 and 3/4 and that didn't work. Thanks for the help.

I think you need to enter this way: 2'6-3/4".

[Lithium]

These also work:

2'6.75

30.75

30-3/4

[Tankman]

2'-63/4" - 2'-6-3/4"

 

Cad doesn't recognize 63/4's.

and this

To convert a number of inches into a decimal fraction of a foot, divide the number of inches by 12.

 

So 1 inch = 0.0833

2 inches = 0.1667

3 inches = 0.25

4 inches = 0.3333

5 inches = 0.4167

6 inches = 0.5

7 inches = 0.5833

8 inches = 0.6667

9 inches = 0.75

10 inches = 0.8333

11 inches = 0.9167

and obviously

12 inches = 1.0
