    Default Math within Fields

    Can I include a math equation within a Field? I've rigged some to show the square footage (unit = foot) in my parking lot concept plans. The architect would prefer them be in Acres. Seems I SHOULD be able to edit the "logic" to devide the square footage value by 43560, and print out the Acres. Don't think it's possible. Might have to stick with AutoLISP Areatx.lsp

    Default Re: Math within Fields

    When the Insert Field dialog appears, the default category seems to be "All". Oddly, "All" doesn't list "Other". Select "Other" and you can choose from a diesel expression or a sysvar.

    Too bad field expressions cannot be nested.

    Really? Now how useful is that? I bet they'll hear lots on that one. Somebody care to wander over to the wishlist forum?
