Cool Tips

Post by jimandi5000 »

Hey there,

I have a cool tip. My desktop screen is a Fraction to Decimal chart. Any time I need to convert a odd fraction to a decimal I have a quick look at my desktop.

Here is the images I found on the web.



Share Your Cool Tips.

If you're using one of the Vectric products you can get fractions to decimals by entering the fraction followed by the = sign in any entry field.

You are correct. But sometimes I need to convert a fraction within Mach3 or Mach4. It is always handy on the desktop.
Thanks,
Jim

Yes, that's why I mentioned the Vectric products as I assumed that was the case but there may be people reading the post who didn't realise fractions work directly in the software.
