    Dimesnion test height

    Hello everyone

    Is there a way to set the dimension fraction text height so that it is smaller then the none fraction height.

    Ex. 4'-2 1/8"
    Can the 1/8" be adjusted smaller so as not to take up so much length on the dimension line.
    Like if the 1 and the 8 were half the size they together would be the same height as the 2. See attachment

    Anyone know a fix for this. Autocad and Microsoft can do this.

    Thanks for any help

    Not that I am aware of. Vectorworks has several fraction styles.

    Short answer is also NO. This is also dependent on the font you are using or have loaded. You can add dimens manually using a text box and manual entry. For Example in Arial UC -- 1/8 = alt 8539. Ruby macros also support this but chief will only pass through the ASCII char set and these char id's are typically higher.
