Hello

I've been told that there is a little built-in calculator in max.
In which you can for exaple write
1000-750 and a the value 250 will be filled into the box you where writing in.

I have seen this somewhere in a v3 max, cant remember where.
Anyone know?

Thanks in advance

Well, it isn't actually a calculator, but the Maxscript listener can handle some basic calculations. You find it at utilities->maxscript->Maxscript listener. You should also be able to use the mini listener (the two bars at the bottom left of the screen).

There certainly is a build in calculator:

Press Ctrl+n whenever you have a numerical input or spinner.
You can see the result of the calculation as you type, and it
will paste the answer back into the input box you started from
when done.

Also say you have the number 200 in an input box you can
type 'r50' over it and press enter to add 50 to the 200.
Handy for when you need to increase spinner values by an
exact amount.

No problem ;)

These are the sort of things that need to be shared, because if
they are documented, they're certainly not easy to find. :D
