5 Click OK.

The Edit Entity Fields dialog box can be resized, in order to access or

Calculated Values
Instead of entering a constant value in a field, you can assign it a calculated
value. AutoSketch updates the calculated value each time the drawing
changes. For example, the calculated value “%Length” returns the length of
a line, arc, circle, polyline, or polygon and stores the length in the field. If
you change the length of that entity, AutoSketch instantly updates the
calculated value assigned to that entity. If that field is visible, you can see the
change.
You enter a calculated value just as you would any other value. AutoSketch
returns the text or numbers to the field automatically. There are specific
calculated values for the five different field types. AutoSketch ignores the
calculated value if the field type is not correct, for example if %Length is used
in a string field.
NOTE Dimensions and text entities cannot have fields assigned to them.
