i use autocad to create a list of materials, I use a special font to show
stacked fractions when inputing feet and inches. I have manage to export a
comma dilimited? file that creates a list on excel.

My problem is that the Font special characters show up insted of fractions.
I want to do other formulas with the information, but With out the proper
numbers its tough.

The special font is .shx type and excel does not read it. I am havin a hrd
time working through this, any comments or advice will help.
I cna input common fractions but they may lead into more mistakes.

I have no idea.

If you don't get a good response here, maybe you can post to an autocad
newsgroup????

I still have no idea, but is there anyway you can change autocad to use decimals
instead of fractions. It would make life easier when you get the data into
excel.
