Matt Overton Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 So one brilliant feature of Vectorworks going way back to the early days is being able to edit numerical values with standard math operators. If you tab between fields the existing value highlights and gets replaced by what you type also very good behavour. It would be great if typing a standard math operator (+,-,/ & *) on a highlighted field caused the existing value to be retained. Avoiding the need to tap after the the existing value and allowing as to tab->math a series of fields. Quote Link to comment
0 Pat Stanford Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 If you hit the Right Arrow Key in a highlighted field it will take you to the end of the field and then you can type the math operator you want. Personally, I like having this extra level of control. It functions more like every other program. If something is highlighted and you type an actual character it is replaced. If you are at the end and type a character it extends the data in the field. Quote Link to comment
