Calculator in measure tool

[tom_eriksson]

Many times i switch between MAC calculator and use the number i get from the measure tool.

Can Fusion have a calculator in the mesure tool instead.

That is a really great idea!  I would also request that there be a setting for it to operate in reverse polish notation.

If you can type equations in data entry fields, in what situation would you use this? I usually just do all my math when I'm entering dimensional values (i.e. (25.7mm+4.2")/2  ).

You would use this in any situation where you aren't entering dimensions; like when you're just thinking about possible options for a design.  I also tend to fabricate simple parts directly off of the model on the screen (instead of making 2D drawings), so it's really handy to be able to take measurements and do simple calculations.

Cool - thanks. I was just curious what your particular use would be.
