Yes, use the 'Cal function, or evaluate in brackets with AutoLisp code (ie Enter (/ 0.187 2) at the Command Line.)

I remember that it USED to be that you could type 12'/4 (for example) and CAD would do the math for you .... is that still possible or did quick calc replace that function?

Thank you

it is working, problem fixed.

I don't do that no more. The 'Cal and Lisp still work though.

Just tried it and it seems to work ...still (Acad2007)

It would also depend on your LUNITS system variable. Since you are trying to divide 12 feet by 4 inches, your LUNITS would need to be set to 3 or 4 for that to work.

hmmm ... i'l check that out. It hasn't been working for me recently and that may be why ... thanks.

Weird - In Acad 2007, it works with /, but not with +, -, or *. And only works with / when you use integers, although it returns fractional results. I guess I'll stick with in-line LISP formating for consistency's sake.

If you input an expression without using 'cal, it will only accept integers.
Example; to convert mm to inches is 1/25.4 which is not acceptable though 10/254 is acceptable.
