AutoCAD/complex linetype

Question
can I insert a fraction in a line type

Answer
you'd probably need to make a custom shape file with the stacked fraction then use that in a linetype. this requires a third-party program.
built-into autocad, you can do any text in a linetype, but if you are trying to do something that isn't built into the style's character set it isn't going to work.
probably the third and simplest option is to use a linetext routine (there are many shareware ones) that will put a block or text into a line, break it, etc.

I`ve been using AutoCAD since 1987 and programming AutoLISP nearly as long. I can answer questions about programming AutoCAD (except ARX) and production enhancement techniques. I cannot answer questions about AutoCAD crashes or DWG corruption. AutoCAD PROGRAMMING (menus, lisp) related questions only!
