Fractions

[dsw98]

Is there a setting somewhere to adjust how a dimension reads. I would like the fraction of a dimension to stack, no to be side by side. This format takes up WAY too much space.I've played with the properties but can't find a solution. Or are we still waiting for this to be fixed?

As far as I know, there is no way to stack fractions as of Revit 8.1. Why don't you make this a wishlist post?

[dsw98]

Will do. My wish list is getting insanely long, I'm sure most are.

Does anyone know of a true type font that supports stacked fractions?

I don't think a font can have an ability to stack since the fractions are made up of individual integers. I also think you would have trouble if the drawing were opened by someone who didn't have the font. There are a few fractions in most fonts that you can type in as a special character. If you open a font in Character Map and look around you'll find them.

Font would work fine for text but would not work in dimensions

I use ARCHTITL TTF and you can copy from the character map & paste any available character. The font has 1/4, 1/2 & 3/4, but also has 'degree' and Greek theta for diameter. Most of these symbols are available in other TTF's as well.

Frankly, I didn't like the length that the default characters take up either, and it wasn't until I read this post that it occurred to me that the character map was a great workaround. That's where I'm going from now on.

That will still work for text only right?

Not sure i´m having the same problem!, but "tick marks" fonts, and line type is not logical.
When I change scale in a A0 or A20 drawing it´s ok!

But A4 etc is not ok for me, to thick/bulky.
