Calculations

Calculations are mathematical expressions that relate one or more terms—such as measurement—by arithmetic. For example, where each of the interior angles of a triangle may be measured by an angle measurement, the sum of these three angles may be calculated by a calculation. As you change the measurements on which a calculation depends, the calculated result changes accordingly.

Use calculations to gain valuable insights into mathematical relationships or to control sketch objects that you create based on your calculations. To perform a calculation, choose the Calculate command. You can define the calculation to use a number of different mathematical operators, built-in functions, and even functions that you’ve defined yourself.

· To create a calculation, choose the Calculate command.

· To edit an existing calculation, double-click it with the Arrow tool, or choose the Edit Calculation command.

· To change a calculation into a parameter, edit the calculation so that it includes only a single numeric value and uses no operators or functions. It can have no units, or it can have angle or distance units.
