Want to perform calculations right from within your drawing? We’re exploring the AutoCAD QuickCalc Calculator in this month’s edition of Have You Tried. Read on for more.

AutoCAD QuickCalc Calculator
While your favorite calculator or app can be used to calculate a distance or angle, to use the result you’ll have to type it at the prompt in the AutoCAD Command window, which is a pain. The QuickCalc Calculator can be used to perform basic and complex calculations within the AutoCAD drawing environment, and the value that’s calculated can be sent directly to the current prompt for the command in progress.
You can learn how the use the QuickCalc Calculator as part of your drawing workflow by viewing the video and following the step-by-step examples in the HaveYouTried:QuickCalcCalculator topic.
