Thanks developers for this amazing feature, I use it all the time.

Just to point out that I noticed a quirk about this feature which I’m not sure if it is a bug or working as intended.

As shown in the picture above, when I input 8+3 I expect A3 to be 11 cm from A2, but it is actually 5 cm. Enclosing the calculation with bracket fix this, as shown in the picture below.

This certainly threw me off. Have been spending the last hour finding this error in my pattern.

Hello @najdmie . Yes, it’s doing some very strange thing without the brackets. It’s placing a ghost node at the correct place which is only visible when the node is selected, and placing the actual node somewhere else:

It looks like it’s placing the ghost node in the correct place and then placing the actual node at 8-3cm. Very strange.

Perhaps @Douglas can have a look?
