Input Extensions
Apart from the Tool Tips customary in Windows-programs, displaying an auxiliary text with explanations, when you move your mouse to an input field or button, further useful helps are available for you in the dialog frames.
Pick Lengths
Most input fields for entering distances allow picking the distance in your drawing. Then, the picked length is entered into the input field. This extension permits comfortable seizing of distances from your construction.
To do so, select the entry Insert Picked Length in the corresponding field via the context menu; the dialog frame is temporarily hidden, and you can pick the distance via two points.
If you select the entry Insert Picked Length (without Z) instead, the distance will be calculated without Z-coordinates.
Pocket Calculator
Most input fields for entering distances alternatively allow the use of an integrated pocket calculator to calculate the values. The new calculated value then is entered into the input field.
To do so, select the entry Insert Calculated Value via the context menu; the pocket calculator is displayed. If a value was entered into the input field before, it will be automatically displayed in the pocket calculator.
