To create stacked text
1 Click Home tab ➤ Annotation panel ➤ Multiline Text.
2 Specify opposite corners of a bounding box to define the width of the
multiline text object.
3 In either the MTEXT ribbon contextual tab or In-Place Text Editor, set
text style and other multiline text properties as needed.
4 Enter the text you want to stack separated by one of the following
characters:
■ Slash (/) stacks text vertically, separated by a horizontal line.
■ Pound sign (#) stacks text diagonally, separated by a diagonal line.
■ Carat (^) creates a tolerance stack, which is not separated by a line.
If you enter numbers separated by stack characters and then enter a
nonnumeric character or press SPACEBAR, the AutoStack Properties dialog
box is displayed.
5 In the AutoStack Properties dialog box, you can choose to automatically
stack numbers (not nonnumeric text) and to remove leading blanks. You
can also specify whether the slash character creates a diagonal fraction
or creates a vertical fraction. If you do not want to use AutoStack, click
Cancel to exit the dialog box.
6 Select the text that you want to stack, and click the Stack button on the
toolbar.
7 To save your changes and exit the editor, use one of the following
methods:
■ Click OK on the toolbar.
■ Click in the drawing outside the editor.
■ Press CTRL+ENTER.
