Where can I use any sort of formula?
in Other
I had stareted a thread about calling out a polyline length. https://forum.bricsys.com/discussion/23910
I ended up inserting a field in the leader, with the text being the length property of the polyline. This polyline represented a piping run, and now I would like to include a length for the vertical part of the run. Note that this is just a 2D drawing.
I see in AutoCAD, there is a way to write an equation to sum things in a field. It is somewhat convoluted, but is possible. See this discussion,
But, I don't see the same choices in BricsCAD. So, I wonder if there is any similar approach that can work with BricsCAD.
I can currently show the horizontal and vertical distances as separate fields, by putting the vertical component as the length of a separate line I drew elsewhere in the drawing just for this purpose. But, I can't figure out how to sum the lengths. I know I can use a lisp routine, and put a static text, but I need it associative Is there any way to do this in BricsCAD?
