hi,
i want to create a new variable using an existin one.
the only operation which works is „*“ „+“ or „-“ dont work.
1.5*#var1 is ok
1.5+#var1 does not work to create a new variable #var2
is there any other ‚wording‘ required to usr +- as well?
thanks in advance for your answer

The values have units, so 1.5 * inch = inch, whereas 1.5 + inch = what? Change it to 1.5 * inch (or * millimeter) + #var1
