One of the most powerful (and least talked about) AutoCAD / Civil 3D features is the Geometric Calculator. This calculator (introduced in 1993) was originally designed to be accessed from the command line which made it a bit challenging to find. Once discovered however, the calculator provides a powerful means of solving simple (or complex) calculations transparently within running commands.
In addition to numeric values, the Geometric Calculator will also accept object snaps as part of an expression making it easy to locate points in space without the need to create “sketch” geometry. In today’s installment we'll unlock the secrets of this calculator and use it to solve both numeric and geometric equations!
If you’re interested, I’ve created a quick video below that walks through everything...
