Debug Watch Formula?
« on: March 21, 2018, 12:16:14 am »
In debug, while watching variables, is it possible to create an auxiliary formula (out of code)?
Example: my variable "a" has an angle in radians, but I would also like to see the same angle in degrees, so I would create a formula (a * 180 / 3.1415927) to see the contents of the variable also in degrees.
But as I said, this formula would not be in the code, but only in the debug.

Yes, you can do it.
Right click -> Rename and type your expression. A short cut for this is pressing the Insert key.

This option is greyed out. Why?

Locals and function arguments cannot be renamed.
You have to add the watch manually below them.

Thanks, but I'm not finding how to do this.
Right click where? In the "Whatches" window I can not get anything. The Insert key also does not change anything.

Right click the variable in the code, then select "watch 'variable'".

There is also one empty row at the bottom were you can start typing your expression.
