I’ve gotten used to designing parts using radius values, but it would be awesome to just use diameter instead. Seems I have to break out the calculator to divide by 2 more often than I would like to admit. Mistakes also have happened when I’m working on multiple jobs and I forget it’s radius and not diameter.
Would it be possible to add diameter value next to radius or have a toggle to switch between the two?
Rather than add a specific control for this, why not let the software do the math for you?
40.344 / 2
20.172 * 2
Note that when drawing:
shift will allow drawing using the diameter (after a fashion, it’s the hypotenuse of a right triangle which when doubled makes the square which the circle would be inscribed in)
Ok that’s cool. Didn’t know you could do math inside that text box. Thanks!
