When I open CAD files received from clients, the fraction values of dimensions are showing up as ?. It has something to do with the option of using %%### values, but for some reason my CAD does not seem to respond to this.

If there is a setting that needs changed, to view the fractions this way, that may be the solution, but I have no idea how/or where to find the answer.

Thank you.

It's probably because your AutoCAd doesn't have the font file that was used for the dimension text, so some other font was substituted. if you "list" the dimension you can probably find out if a substitution occurred. you can ask client to send you that particular font file, once you place it wiYh your other font files it should work properly.
