Entering length values and coordinates

Precision drawing

General information

In Allplan, length values and coordinates are always entered as real values. In other words, you do not need to recalculate the length each time to take the reference scale into account. For example, when designing a wall that is 8.60 m long, enter 8.6 (assuming that m is set for the unit of length).

Performing calculations in the dialog line

You can also perform calculations in the dialog line when the system prompts you to enter a length value.

Transferring measured values

Values obtained with Measure can be transferred directly to the dialog line by clicking the value to be transferred in the Values dialog box.

You can use to copy the result to the Clipboard and paste it into other Windows applications (CTRL+V).

Transferring values from the calculator

Values you calculate with Calculator are transferred straight to the dialog line.
