=============================================================================
DESCRIPTION:
This AutoCad BIGFONT shape file enables you to enter vertical or slanted
fractions directly into you AutoCAD text strings. The 200 series of vertical
fractions is the preferred type in mechanical drawings, as well as in other
drafting disciplines. They eliminate the confusion of interpreting 1 1/32 as
0.34375 instead of seeing it as 1.03125. The 300 series of fractions is
provided for pleasant looking fractions in drawing notes, title blocks, etc.
This series fits easier into the line spacing size AutoDesk selected for many
of it's text fonts. Both series of fractions will be drawn to basic drafting
standards with the numerator and the denominator being 75% of the current text
height. The overall fraction will approximately be twice the text height. This
BIGFONT will accommodate any variation in x-scale factor, obliquing angle, etc.
=============================================================================
CONTENTS:
FRAC.ZIP contains the following files:
1. FRACTION.DOC : This documentation file
2. FRACTION.LIC : Registration form
3. FRACTION.SHP : The BIGFONT source code
4. FRACTION.SHX : Release 10 compiled file of FRACTION.SHP
=============================================================================
INSTALLATION:
1. Copy FRACTION.SHX to your AutoCad directory, the directory set by the ACAD
system variable, or any other directory in your path. (Normally where you
keep the other *.SHX files)
2. You can now add FRACTION.SHX to any new or existing "styles" in your
drawings. An example of appending this BIGFONT to the standard SIMPLEX
font would be to answer "simplex,fraction" when asked for the text font in
the STYLE command. You may answer the other questions in any manner you
wish, except for vertical text. FRACTION.SHX does not support vertical text
at this time.
3. To enter a fraction into your drawing, you enter %%SXX where S is the series
of fraction you desire, and XX is the actual fraction you want in terms of
32nd of an inch. The S value will either be a "2" for vertical fractions or
a "3" for slanted fractions. The XX will be in the range of 01 to 31, such
as "03" for 3/32 or "16" for 1/2.
