Equation Editor

The Equation Editor allows for static values, simple formulas, as well as nested conditional equations.

To create a static value simply type in the number on the top line of the Editor. Remember, if you are working in inches the number must be converted to mm by simply multiplying the value *tomm (to mm) or multiplying by 25.4.

Example - perhaps this value should be 24" for the width of this part, simply enter 24*tomm or 24*25.4

tomm is a more precise conversion caring the decimal several additional places.

Always Test your formula to make sure it is the correct result.

To create a simple formula use the Parameters listed at the bottom of the screen to write an equation.

Example - perhaps the width of the part is equal to the depth of the cabinet less the thickness of the face frame.

enter d-frame.th

Enter conditional parameters as necessary to create the proper logic for the part.

Example - perhaps we want to modify the back toe for each finished end.

enter IF Finished is equal to 3

Then Length = PartL-LEThick-REThick

Click Add Formula

enter IF Finished is equal to 0 (Left end only)

OR Finished is equal to 1 (Right end only)

Then Length = PartL-FEnd.th
