Is there a way to display fractions in the Filename/Drawing Name/Line Number Field?

I have a drawing named 3/4"-P-110123-SPEC-N and the field displays as 3_4-P-110123-SPEC-N.

Is there a setting I can change to get the Field to display as 0.75-P-110123-SPEC-N or 3/4-P-110123-SPEC-N?

Windows does not allow some characters in file names including /
This is why ISOGEN replaces it with an _
If you try to manually rename the file with / you will get an error.

ISOWorx has the ability to rename it afterwards to get 0.75 but even then its not the best idea to use a decimal in a file name. Some software see the decimal as the beginning of a file extension. You would be better off leaving it as _ or rename to 075...
