When using Mtext to create notes for details, fractional dimensions within the notes automatically stack. How do I make it stop doing this?

Isn't there an option to unstack fractions available via right-clicking while in the MTEXT editor? I'm not at my CAD computer at the moment so I cannot verify this.

That worked. I typed the fraction and it stacked automatically. Then I went back and highlighted the fraction, right clicked and selected "Stack Properties". Then selected "Auto Stack" in the lower right corner. Deselected "Enable Auto Stacking" in the next dialog box and hit "OK". That fixes it from that point forward. Thank you.

Open the mtext for editing and then select the stacked fraction and right-click it. In the menu - if the fraction is horizontally stacked - you should see an item called "stack properties". This is where you can change the display to the way you want it and save it as your default.
