![]() You can specify a denominator of any size when specifying fractions.Note that this works only if Dynamic Input is turned off. If your current angle system uses a different base angle and direction and you want to specify an angle in the standard base direction, you can use a triple less-than symbol (The << assumes the base angle of 0° to be a direction from left to right and the positive direction to be counterclockwise. ![]() If your current base angle is set to something other than horizontal from left to right, you can use a double less-than symbol (You do have to specify g, r, or d, however, if you want to use these units when they aren’t the current default angle system. If you have your angle units set to grads, radians, or degrees, you don’t need to specify g, r, or d after the angle.For example, you can enter a distance as <1.5708r, even if your current unit system is set for decimal units and decimal degrees (1.5708r is the radian equivalent of 90°). You can enter fractional distances and angles in any format you like, regardless of the current unit style.If you’re using the Engineering unit style, you can enter decimal feet and forgo the inch sign entirely. When entering distances in inches and feet, you can omit the inch (″) sign.Here are some tips for entering distances and angles in unusual situations: These idiosyncrasies are a source of confusion to many architects and engineers new to AutoCAD because the program often displays architectural dimensions in the standard architectural format but doesn’t allow you to enter dimensions that way. For example, you can specify eight feet, four and one-half inches as 8′4–1/2″ or 8′4.5 but not as 8′-4 1/2″. You can’t use spaces while specifying a dimension.Use hyphens only to distinguish fractions from whole inches.When you’re using Architectural units, you should be aware of two points:
