Good morning to all I ask a question that can be banal but perhaps so banal is not...
I'm making a drawing library for a client where I have details that have a nomenclature in inches.. .
I give you examples:
hose guide 3/4" - 1"
pipe guide 1 1/4" - 1 1/2"
And so on...

as windows you do not admit names with these characters, which could be an alternative to emulate these with traditional characters

clearly each set and part has a number of codes that distinguish each component but the problem is how to organize at file level.
I hope someone has some suggestions since I have to start from scratch and I wanted to start with the right foot thanks to all
 
I use the apostrophe, which not from problems, instead of the classic quotes in saving files with inch nomenclature.. .of course two, in order to bypass the problem of the invalid character and however make immediate recognition of the particular

So, for example, from 1 1/2" I wrote 1 1/2''

sin that slash / cannot be used
 
for fractions you can use characters from the "character pack". with keyboard shortcuts (alt+0189, e.g. for 1/2) for those provided, or copying-pacing others.
do not accept quotes for the thumb, but solve, as mentioned above with the double apostrophe.
or, I put a small p > 11⁄2p
