Hello, is there a way to use formulas inside of component properties. For example, say I wanted to move x-location of a pad to .1+.2 (mm) is there a way to do this? It seems like it is possible, but it is giving me weird results. For example, typing .1+.2 and hitting enter places the pad at 1mm instead of .3?
Omitting the leading zero always gives an error...
Try "0.1+0.2" (no quotes).
If you want an incremental move, you can also do: "X1+0.2" and such.
FYI: the names of parameters don't usually match, between the three places you can access them: they are often named differently between Parameter Manager / PCB List Panel, PCB Inspector, and PCB Filter. AFAIK, there is no comprehensive list of Inspector names, so you will have to guess a lot.
You can also do more complicated assignments, on certain (usually text) fields, when a selection gives you a "..." button on that field. The syntax refers to the same (Inspector) parameter names, and functions are Pascal style.

There is no support for expressions in object property dialogs. There is support in the PCB inspector and PCB list with ! representing the current value and supposed support for parameters/properties by name but it is not clear what parameters/properties are supported or what they are called.
