Adding a Formula to the Rule

You can include formula to the current measurement property using the Formula Builder dialog box. The object property can be used with arithmetic operators. For example:

o        =[Area]*2

o        =[Volume]*3

Note: You can use round brackets or parenthesis to include complex arithmetic. For example, [Area]*([Length]*6).
