  calculations within value boxes

  Posted by Mitch Fondue on June 3, 2009 at 10:07 am

  say an x position is at 50;
  you can type in +50 and it will change to 100,
  or you can type in *3 and it will go to 150,
  but if you type in -10 it will actually go to -10 rather than 40
  is there a key that means ‘minus’ without meaning ‘negative’?

  Enter + before – like this: +-10.

  Or you can enter the -10 after the original value.

  1) Click on the value box.

  2) Hit the right arrow to go to the end of the current value.

  3) Enter -10 and hit enter.
