QUICKCALC for area, length calculation

in 2D Drafting
In AutoCAD Property Panel there is QUICKCALC button in Area, Length and for etc. option for direct open calculator with value.

It is very useful for property calculations.

Do we have the same same or similar in BRICSCAD?

    What do you want to do ? mm2 to m2, inches to Sq Ft ?

    Sometimes it is cool to be able to "scale" an object,
    which current dimension is unknown or not relevant - but you
    want it to be just 30 cm longer or so.
    Then it is nice to be able to enter math into an numerical
    input field that shows "irrelevant current dimension" and you
    can edit : "irrelevant current dimension"+0,3
    Or just add a x2 or /4 ......

    OK, a bad example as there are few parametric 2D/3D object types
    in Bricscad that allow such "scaling", but it can be also used to move
    things or the like ....

    Vectorworks does this, Blender and Modo do this, not sure about C4D (?)
    I think Microstation also did, .....

    Hello, In V24 BricsCAD has the QuickCalc functionality, but at the moment it is not available at the Properties Panel. It can be opened by _quickcalc command.
    Here you can find more details: https://help.bricsys.com/en-us/document/bricscad/panels/calculator-panel?version=V24&id=169522481811

    Interesting, this is nice.
    A scientific calculator inside Bricscad.

    Certainly useful for more complex calculations.

    But it is not the same as the ability to input or add basic math into any kind of number input field.

    Autocad has Cal which allows calculations plus lots of smart vector stuff, things like divide length of line by a number for a point. If simple math then can use lisp in a lot of cases.

    Select center of circle or [2 Point/3 Point/Tangent-Tangent-Radius/turn Arc into circle/Multiple circles]:
    Set Radius or [Diameter]:(/ 0.375 4)
    0.09375
