calculation syntax
I've been using the ability to enter numbers as simple arithmetic with +-*/. Now I need to do powers and roots. If this is possible, where can I find documentation of the syntax?

Re: calculation syntax
The syntax is basic JavaScript, so for example Math.pow(3,2) and Math.sqrt(9) will work. However, in QCAD, for convenience, pow(3,2) and sqrt(9) also work.
