An easy workaround for your math issues is to just use the built in calculator in Windows. My keyboard has a dedicated calculator button, you push it, you have a calculator. It even provides history to your calcs. You do your math, you punch it in the control. But yes, I would agree, a match capable input would be sweet. That said, using a touch probe nearly removes the need for both.

Good to hear from you again, CLM. This is a new to me refurbished Dell laptop that I'm using for Fusion 360 and Solidworks and I never noticed the Calc key. Thanks for that. My mill pc motherboard is still running Windows 7 and I'll have to check if it has the Windows Calculator also.

I hear you on the touch probe. I have downloaded ProbeIt and hope to get my Drewtronics probe up and running soon.

I had made the Fusion 360 CAD and CAM at school for a project. To run it on my mill I changed the Post Processor from Haas NGC to UCCNC. I also changed Tool 1 from a Face Mill to a 3/4" end mill, disabled Tool Changes, slowed the RPM's down from 6000 to 4600, and set up my own tool library.
