-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sqr (square root)
select from combo box (between ‘1st Number’ and ‘2nd Number’) sqr or place cursor in combo box and just type s
Remark: As a number for performing of square root operation the value in text box ‘1st Number’ is used
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
pow (power)
select from combo box (between ‘1st Number’ and ‘2nd Number’) pow or place cursor in combo box and just type p
Remark: As a number for performing of power operation the value in text box ‘1st Number’ is used.
2.2 Convert numbers
Enter in text box ‘1st Number’ any number and double click
2.3 Perform ACAD commands
Make calculation. Result will be placed in text box ‘Distance’. Select direction (click on any of 4 arrows). Select command from combo box. Enter number in text box ‘Times’ (for Array command only). Press button ‘Go’
Select on screen AutoCAD entities and get result.
Remarks:
Array is actually linear (one row or one column).

2.4 Using of Clipboard
Press button 
to
place the corresponding contents into clipboard.
2.5 Clean
Press button ‘Clean’, if you don’t need the results of previous calculations.
2.6 Get Distances
Press the corresponding button. Pick 2 points in ACAD. The distance taken from AutoCAD will be placed in textbox ‘1st Number’ (or ‘2nd Number’).
2.7 Solve Triangles
Press the corresponding button to get the bevel, hypotenuse and angle (legs of triangle are values of ‘1st Number’ and ‘2nd Number’).
