Good Morning,
we are laying out guitar fingerboards and need to use an exponent to calculate the proper fret spacing, I want to use the same program with a few variables to change the scale length and number of frets with out having to draw it each time in fusion.
Thanks!
Can Accorn calculate exponents?

"^" does exponentiation - see section 11.2.14 in the operator's manual.

Confidence is the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are where they should be.

Re: Can Accorn calculate exponents?
According to the Mill Manual, Chapter 11.2.14 (https://www.centroidcnc.com/centroid_di ... f#page=197), you can use the caret operator ^ to write out exponential expressions.
That would take the form of where a is taken to the power of b.
That would take the form of
Code: Select all
a ^ b
