Setting AutoStack Defaults for Notes

Use the AutoStack Defaults dialog box to set defaults for automatically stacking text that represents fractions and tolerances in Notes, SmartLeaders, and Leaders.

The dialog box automatically displays as you enter numeric characters that are divided by a pound (#), slash (/), or carat (^) character (see Using Stacked Text in Notes).

To set AutoStack defaults for Notes:

1. When editing a Note, enter a fraction or tolerance in the form "x/y", "x#y", or "x^y" (where x is the numerator and y is the denominator) followed by a space or nonnumeric character.
2. In the dialog box, select or clear Stack fractions and tolerances automatically to specify whether to stack text automatically as you type.
3. Select Remove leading blank to erase blanks between a whole number and a fraction or tolerance.
4. In "x/y" stack as, specify whether to convert stacked text in the x/y form (where a slash separates numerator and denominator) to a Decimal fraction or a Horizontal fraction.
5. Select Display AutoStack Defaults dialog box automatically when typing, to always display the AutoStack Default dialog box as you type stacked text. Otherwise, the dialog box does not show automatically. and the default settings are used for all subsequent stacked text.
6. Click OK.

1. Right-click an instance of stacked text and click Stack Properties.
2. Click AutoStack.
3. Set options as described above.
4. Click OK.
