stacked fractions in dimensions driving me up a wall

[084x4larry]

ok, all my dimensions are coming out with the fractional portion being stacked. That has become a problem for clarity reasons and I need them to come out diagnally. Is there a way I can set them to do this automatically and not have to go back and change them via the editor?

Did you start with this?

In the dimension style editor there is an option under the primary units tab that allows you to change the stack style to diagnol. There is also an option under the Text tab called fraction height scale that allows you to change the scale of the fractional portion of your dimesnion. You can fiddle with this until you get something you like (we prefer .65 here as it is still legible and looks more proportional).

that does give me more control and i thank you for the info, thing is in an instance where i have 11 1/2" the spacing allows for the dim to possibly read as 1 1 1/2" we have to try and make it as clear as possible for the shop guys as some times the lighting in the shop and other circumstances.. well, we just have to cater to them as much as we can.

once again with the magic!! yes that was it sir and many thanks, the dims are most legible now i just needed to set that option to "not stacked"

and the spacing comes out perfect! well again, many thanks from me and my shop guys as well Mark.
