Math in text entry fields

Math in text entry fields

Add the ability to do math calulations when inputing values into text fields.

 

For instance, in the Information Window, you could rotate an object in the x axis that is already rotated 57.36 degrees to 60 by typing "57.36 + 2.64" into the Rotate X field and hitting return.

 

Even better would be higher level equations such as "(60 - 57.36) + 57.36" to get the same result without know the 2.64 bit.

 

Another use would be to create a circle with a circumference of 15 by typing "15/(2pi)" in the radius field of the Attribues Tab.

 

Or you could scale a 34.8 cube to 20 by typing "20/34.8" in the scale field.

 

Many programs such as Adobe Illustrator and Maya offer similar solutions.
