I'm using some trig functions to set the lengths of some features, however you need to use an angle in radians. How can i use the constant of PI in formulas? I need it to change a dimension in degrees to radians.

Right now I put PI() into a Excel cell and linked it to my file, however I don't want to have this part linked to this excel file forever.

Hi,

either use ATN(1)*4 within a formula or define PI as variable
(type: Scalar)and use the above as formula value
