Equation Editor for Parameters Dialogue Box

[Anonymous]

Having an equation editor in the parameter dialogue box would be incredibly useful.  The linear style of typing equations is insufficient for accurately entering complex mathematical expressions. 

While designing a crank-rocker four bar linkage and specifying the length of its coupler link, I found that correctly sorting out parenthesis errors took nearly as long as deriving the equation for the length of that coupler!  Having the ability to type expressions as they might be written by hand (especially for fractions and exponents) would save time, increase clarity, and avoid mistakes for the designer.

have a look at swift Calcs https://apps.autodesk.com/FUSION/en/Detail/Index?id=915879760347548283&appLang=en&os=Mac

It being in fusion would be way better

hey this is exactly what I was about to put in my comment to this. I haven't used it extensively yet but from what I've seen on the Inventor side it appears to be just what you're looking for and more. I'm guessing it will be coming to Fusion soon as well.

This is something we'd like to get to eventually, but it is a ways out. In the mean time, we recommend you use that add-in app. We'll keep the community updated on our progress.
