Mathematical Operators
Have you ever had a string of dimensions that needed to be added together for wall input? Did you know iDesign has the ability to perform calculations in any input field? Give this shortcut a try the next time you need to find the calculation for a number of dimensions:
While in Wall/ Add mode the input field is located at the bottom of the screen, located to the right of the button labeled <Enter>. This input field has the ability to perform calculations. Add (+), Subtract (-), Multiply (*), and Divide (/) are all operators that may be used to perform calculations.
Note: The ability to perform calculations works with any input field, not just the Add Walls toolbar.
To perform a calculation simply type in the equation making sure to add the wall direction if in Add Wall Mode. When the wall is added it will be the sum of the calculation.
Example:
40600+10+140900U=290300
420814-12+302L=31
724+100308R=11
30600*2D=7
