yes, you can use a couple of predefined functions: sin(x), cos(x), tg(x), pow(x, y) + conditional expressions
List of available operators is in the Parameterized Objects tutorial.
Hello,
Can I to use functions like SINE, COSINE, ROOT, PI, ^, etc. while parameterizeing coordinates ? Which functions are supported now ?

Thank you Vlasta,
I think that root function will be fine addition... A lot of geometry formulas are contain it.
Did you mean square root? It is possible to do that with pow(x, 0.5)
Or did you mean finding roots of a polynomial expression? That would be more complex, but still doable with the conditional statement.
Yes, I`m about square root, so, ROOT^X=POW(a,1/X).
My mine problem is that I regular to work with simple 2D sketches of Solidworks, where determination of coordinates of points, applying & measuring dimensions much more simple. I`m about SMART DIMENTION, & RULER functions - these are wery helpful, & I miss them in your 3D module. But I found your software very useful & interesting. Generally, I use it to build a photorealistic 3D models for PROTEUS ARES PCB module. The results seems to be amazing good.
By the way, how to switch bfrom radians to degrees in your software ?
OK, thanks for mentioning it. This software has a little bit different usage scenarios, but we will keep the ruler functions in mind when making new versions.
I noticed that while I`m trying to calculate sin or cos, the result looks like angle given in radians,- sin(45) returning 0.851 instead 0.707. How to switch from radians to degrees input in your software ? Or I should to go with sin((PI/180)*angle deg) I think that in such case adding Pi constant will be fine also.
By the way, you much faster with help than representatives of some big CAD/CAM companies. It's your big plus ๐
Yes, it is given in radians. Do you have any other suggestions? Update of expressions is scheduled for the next version and any feedback from real world ๐ is welcome.
Oh, I can to write Pi in parametrizer & than use it.
I should to learn your 3D module more carefully...
Thank you for all of you help ๐ !!!
