In the upper left part of the window there is a button that opens the menu for selecting the work option - Calculator; Interpolation; Degree, slope:

Use transparaency - When setting is checked, the window will become transparent when the focus is lost

Calculator

Input field - field for entering the formula. After pressing the button "=" or on the keyboard of the button Enter the formula from the window will be calculated, and the result is displayed in the corresponding field

- The context menu for inserting functions. For more information about the functions, see below in the table

Prefix - field for specifying the prefix. When adding a result to the drawing, the prefix will be added to the beginning of the result.

Output field - field for outputting the result of calculating the formula.

Suffix - field for specifying the suffix. When adding a result to the drawing, the suffix will be added to the end of the result.

Rounding - The indication of the number of decimal places to which the value in the output field will be rounded.

Группа Data from drawing contains functions for obtaining values from the drawing (the value is added to the end of the line of the input field). For some data retrieval options, it is possible to retrieve data from several objects by ticking the Several. Then when you select several objects from which you want to get the values, a window for selecting the sign will appear, which will be inserted between the values:

Round - indicates whether the values obtained from the drawing are rounded to the specified number of decimal places.

The group of control buttons includes buttons for adding/removing of digits in the input field, for the purification of the input field, for calculating the formula as well as certain functions. A complete list of buttons and functions (including those missing in the group of control buttons) is given in the table:

The group Result to drawing contains functions for inserting the result from the output field into the drawing:

	- Insert result as a single-line text
	Go to AutoCAD to insert an entity: Insertion point: Specifying a single-line text insertion point
	- Add result to existing one-line text (with content replacement)
	Go to AutoCAD to select an entity: Select single-line text: Select one-line text to replace its contents
	- insert result into a table cell
	Go to AutoCAD to select an entity: Select table: Select table Select cell: Selecting a cell in a table
	- Add result to multiline text
	Go to AutoCAD to select an entity: Select multiline text: Selecting multi-line text to add results to it
	- insert result in the form of a multileader
	Go to AutoCAD to specify points: Specify point: Specifying the location of the leader arrow Insertion point: The location of the leader shelf

- Opens a journal in which the last calculations are displayed:

If you select in the calculation journal, it will be re-entered in the input field. The journal is kept only in the current session of the function. When you close and restart the function, the journal will be cleared

- Clearing the calculations journal

Interpolation

Three options (selection in the drop-down list) - linear interpolation, linear extrapolation of the smaller and linear extrapolation of the larger. Calculation of the value occurs "on the fly" - i.e. when you enter the required values into cells

Degree, slope

Allows you to translate degrees and slopes into different values. Calculation of the values occurs "on the fly" - i.e. when you enter a value in any field
