I'm afraid I'm definitely not an expert on anything math-related or formula-related, but I hope that this points you in the right direction. Once you do that, the editor will have both superscript and subscript buttons available that you will see.įor more complex equations, Canvas offers a math editor within the rich content editor, as outlined here: How do I use the Math Editor in the Rich Content Editor? And finally, you can build your own formula questions, as covered here: How do I create a Simple Formula quiz question? When creating a multiple choice-type question, for example, you will want to click on the pencil icon pointed to on the screen capture below to open the rich content editor:

Many times this can speed up command entries, especially if the user already knows the sequence of keystrokes.Hello Welcome to the worldwide Canvas Community! The answer you seek is in the rich content editor, which is indeed available when creating quiz answers, though it may not be immediately obvious depending on the question type you are working on in a quiz. The command will be run the old-fashioned way, completely through the command line. Typing a dash (-) in front of a command will tell AutoCAD to start the function without a dialog box. This type of interface can be accomplished with most commands and is key when creating LISP routines, script files, or button macros.

This is a great tip for performing the same functions on multiple xrefed files. This tip will make the end of two parallel lines end at the same point. If they aren't, then both lines will be trimmed/extended in order to create a fillet of the given radius that is tangent to both lines. The second line selected will either be trimmed or extended accordingly if the two are parallel. When the fillet command is invoked, it creates an arch between the two lines that is tangent to both lines. It doesn't make the lines the same length. The fillet command can be used to make one end of two parallel lines start or stop at the same distance. There are some default settings for specific superscripts (like the number 2) but we often need other numbers. Using the ^ (caret) key before or after the text and stacking it as described will allow us to create them. Users often need to include superscripts or subscripts. For example, type D for detach and respond with * instead of the xref names." "To manipulate all xrefs at the same time without going to each individually, run the Xref command without a dialog box by typing -XREF at the Command prompt, and then selecting one of the options offered on the Command prompt, such as Bind, Detach, Unload, Reload, or Overlay. For subscript, press CTRL + (press and hold Ctrl, then press ). For superscript, simply press Ctrl + Shift + + (press and hold Ctrl and Shift, then press +). You can do this through the Font dialog box, but there is a much faster way. If the longer line was selected first, it will make the shorter line the same length as the long one, and vice versa. Occasionally you may find yourself wanting to type superscript (see the adjacent graphic) or subscript (10 2). "If you have two parallel lines of equal or unequal length, the Fillet command (regardless of setting for radius) will put an arc between those parallel lines. If you do need superscript, use this similar procedure: type ABCD45^ highlight 45^, then a/b, and you have it. "In MTEXT windows, if you need to superscript or subscript any number of characters (for example, ABCD^45), in the Mtext Editor window, highlight ^45 and select a/b (fractional icon inside Mtext Editor) and you will have ABCD subscript 45.
