Stacking fractions did NOT cover everything. Stacked fractions also allow you to use super- and subscripting. For example - if you need either an exponent OR a footnote reference, type the character followed by a slash. Nothing will happen by default, BUT if you go into the MText editor, select the charter + slash, right-click, then click on Stack, AutoCAD will stack the character over the slash. But, since we don't want the slash, change the stacked fraction property to Tolerance. Voila - the character now resembles an exponent or a footnote reference. For subscrpts, one can just reverse the process. Type the slash then the character, select them both, right-click and select Stack. As before, change the Stack property to Tolerance and the slash goes away. Just another way to utilize stacked fractions.
