Fields calculator in BricsCAD

Calculate in BricsCAD simple or complex expressions using operators and functions that can be applied to field values in a table and/or to constant values

Calculation of new or existing field values using arithmetic, mathematical, date, etc., expressions. Include constant values and/or values from other fields

Geometric functions like Area or Perimeter are also available
