iTosaf Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Hi there, I'm trying to set an exact document dimensions in inches like 7 7/8 x 10 3/8, but have no idea how to type it without decimal point. Any help appreciated. Thanx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdenby Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Hi, iTosaf, AFAIK, the dimension input requires decimal fractions. 1/8" = .125. Bit of a fuss for those of use who have used rulers w. fractions.

toltec Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 You'll have to do a bit of maths. Divide the top number (numerator) of the fraction by the bottom number (denominator). 7/8 or 7 divided by 8 = .875 3/8 or 3 divided by 8 = .375 so you need to enter 7.875 x 10.375 Repeat that for any fraction you need to enter.

Przemysław Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Maybe it will be better to convert to mm? If the artwork is for printing then 200 mm × 263 mm should be accurate enough (200.025 × 263.525).

iTosaf Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 Thank you all, that will work. Just thought that there is a way to use fractions, but didn't know how. Thanx again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h_d Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 In any dimensions box, just type the number and the fraction in this format: 2+(3/8): Now press enter: The fraction is automatically formatted as a decimal. iTosaf 1 Quote Affinity Photo 2.0.3, Affinity Designer 2.0.3, Affinity Publisher 2.0.3, Mac OSX 13, 2018 MacBook Pro 15" Intel.
