Good Day Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone else has noticed any changes to how stacted fractions work with the installation of the update to version .480? In previous V8i SS2 versions, a user would type in say " 1'-2 1/2" " and the "1/2" would automatically change to a stacked fraction like " 1/2 ". On workstations that I have upgraded, this seems to be disabled.
Your comments are very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Chuck
If auto-stacking is enabled in the active text style, I believe the trick is to have a space before and after the fraction. Both spaces should be deleted after entering the second space. The spaces are used in this way to delimit the fraction, and prevent unintended stacking of dates or other text with slashes.
I am using a resource font.....same font I've been using for years and with the proper spaces it would automatically switch to the stacked fraction. Once I switched over to SS3 it has not been working automatically.
I only have Ss3 Beta but I am not having any problems.
Could it be that it is not reading the correct .rsc font with the stacked fractions in it.
I wish it would display the Name of the font rsc file & location in the Fonts dialog when you click on the font like it does in the Line Styles dialog.
I Hope this Helps!
The thing I see is that when you have fractions checked in the text style box, you type in a fraction, say, 3/8" and in the text editor, once you type in the " character it alters the whole string, graying it out some and creating the stacked fraction. When you print this, it prints out an asterisk (*) instead of the fraction. What's up with that?!
Just to understand the problem,
You mean when you place the fraction in active view you see asterisk (*) ? or when you actually take a print on paper (or print as pdf) you see asterisk(*).
