    Default Fractions in Aspire / VCarvePro

    I have a quick question....

    I understand that you can insert a fractional inch measurement in Aspire or VcarvePro and the program will automatically convert to decimal. BUT can't remember how to write the fraction into a dialog box.....my attempts have failed

    Can you jog my memory???

    You can do math with the equals sign so:

    3/8= will convert to .375

    Is that what you are looking for?

    There are lots of other things you can do with that facility as well as there are special letters you can use to reference information about the job.
