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:

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.

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

Result multiplier — a number from the drop-down list, by which the result of calculating the formula is multiplied.

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.

Group 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.

       Several mode:
         Select several dimensions: — select several dimensions

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:

Buttons

 — 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.
