Today I learned.....

That if you want to move a wall a distance "x" you can simply do the arithmetic in the dimension string text. Select the wall, select the dimension, type + or - "x" and it will move! Who knew....

You can also use simple math in most dialogs.  So if you want something to be twice as big you can just type "*2" or half as big you can type "/2".

Makes sense, good to know.

You can also type 4 in 12 for an angle

Oh, nice. Thanks for the tip.

You can also type in:

• 1 ft
• 1'
• 1 foot
• 1 in.
• 1"
• 1 inch
• 1 yd
• 1 yard
• 1 m
• 1 meter
• 1 hand (where "hand" is a custom unit)

...etc.  The spaces aren't required and you can combine units (12' + 1cm would result in 144 25/64")

 

and you can also enter angles with optional minutes/seconds (12 = 12°, 12 12 = 12.2°, and 12 12 12 = 12.203333°) and minute(')/second(")symbols are optional as well.  FUN!
