Hi there,

Struggling to find the correct way to enter a simple expression. This hold true when trying to enter the expression in the command line, the dynamic tooltip, or a properties field.

Simple example:

Select circle (centre point, radius).

Select center point.

In the dynamic tooltip enter 500/2 (you get a circle with an expected radius of 250).

But this only holds true for the division operator. Using any other operator, the box turns red refusing the input, for example.

Simple example:

Select circle (centre point, radius).

Select center point.

In the dynamic tooltip enter 250+50 (box turns red, bad input).

I have been googling and found many references to prefixing with an = sign. But this also only works with the division operator for me.

I also found reference to "make sure the system variable "CALINPUT" is true, but there does not appear to be such a system variable in Autocad LT for Mac.

Kind regards
