functions within a shapesheet cell

[Grant Ford]

I want to make the value cell of a custom property equal to a formula
involving the exponential function, but the program doesn't appear to like
this. Does anybody know if the function name is different or if it simply is
not possible to call the exponential funciton within the shapesheet? Thank
you very much in advance for any help, this is driving me nuts.

Grant,

There may be an easier way, but you can use the function

pow(number,exponent)

for general exponentiation. If you need the base number to
be the constant e, use sinh(1) + cosh(1).

Hope this helps,
-Nick

If you need to

Nick:

you are a lifesaver, I've been toying around with my trig functions most of
the afternoon trying to find some combination that accurately mimics the
exponential formula I'd had earlier, this makes life a million times easier.
Very Much Obliged!
