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

I don't do that no more. The 'Cal and Lisp still work though.Originally Posted by max.sabre
Just tried it and it seems to work ...still (Acad2007)Originally Posted by max.sabre
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.Originally Posted by max.sabre
If you have a technical question, please find the appropriate forum and ask it there.
You will get a quicker response from your fellow AUGI members than if you sent it to me via a PM or email.

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.
