Fractions in Aspire / VCarvePro

[Simops]

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:mad:

Can you jog my memory???

Cheers

You can do math with the equals sign so:

3/8= will convert to .375

Is that what you are looking for?

Thanks muchly!!! Just couldn't remember how.

Cool! I didn't know that. I have a stupid chart and have been doing it the hard way...

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.
