To calculate values in palettes and dialog boxes
You can perform simple math in any box that accepts numeric values. For example, if you want to move a selected
object 3 units to the right using the current measurement units, you don’t have to work out the new horizontal
position—simply type
+3
after the current value in the Transform palette.
1
In a text box that accepts numerical values, do one of the following:
•
To replace the entire current value with a mathematical expression, select the entire current value.
•
To use the current value as part of a mathematical expression, click before or after the current value.
2
Type a simple mathematical expression using a single mathematical operator, such as
+
(plus),
-
(minus),
x
(multi
plication),
/
(division), or
%
(percent).
For example,
0p0 + 3
or
5mm + 4
. Similarly,
3cm * 50%
equals 3 centimeters multiplied by 50%, or 1.50 cm, and
50pt + 25%
equals 50 points plus 25% of 50 points, or 62.5 points.
3
Press Enter or Return to apply the calculation.
About the Control palette
The Control palette offers quick access to options related to the objects you select. By default, the Control palette is
docked to the top of the work area.
Options displayed in the Control palette vary depending on the type of object you select. For example, when you
select a text object, the Control palette displays text-formatting options in addition to options for changing the color,
placement, and dimensions of the object.
