Is it possible to do a two-step math calculation in AI? For example, I'd like to input dimensions for a line as "(70/2)-2". AI will do the 70/2 but ignores the -2. Is there a way to write this that AI will understand or is this just a two-step process?
This would ultimately be part of an Action. Yes, I know I could do it in a script (if I could write scripts).
Thanks,
Ray
No, Illustrator (at least as of CS6) does not resolve multiple math operators in a value field like FreeHand did. In AI, you'd have to commit one operation, then enter the second operation and commit that.
It's one of the refreshing things about Affinity Designer. It not only resolves expressions in its Transform palette fields, but also accepts trig functions, etc.
