Calculator?

Does someone know if we can get a better calcultor for autocad, instead of the calc command?

What more do you want? It's very powerful as is.

What more do you want? It's very powerful as is.

How much more powerful than

command: cal
command: ((54/2)*3))
or
command: o (for offset)
'cal
27.3192/4
or
cal
((13.5+1.625)-(6.375/2))

Will do almost any function you want including trig

Yes, I know. It was jdlong who had the problem with it, not I.

when using it, it is all on the command line we like the calculator that windows uses. Just more user freindly without having to exist a command to use the cal command

I am working on one but I haven't gotten it yet for how I want it to look and all the features are not done yet.  It is meant for architectural purposes.  It works in its current format but as I said, it's not done.  If you'd like it, let me know.

You don't have to exit a command to use 'CAL, and you can use it in answer to a command prompt. It'll even do the calculation of mid points.
