I am entering a large network of nodes and conduits into a utility surface.
The information provided is lid elev. and inv. or obv, and pipe size.
Ex. LID 55.23, OBV. 2.92, pipe is .250.
I would love to be able to go into the PIPE INVERT field in the utility properies and enter =55.23-2.92-.250 and have the answer. Instead i have to open windows calculator and do the math there.
Question: Is there a way to use formulas in field entry
No. A field is a simple placeholder for a bit of data.

Have you considered creating a User Data Extension? You can create one that uses a formula. If LID, OBV, and PIPE are properties of the element, you can create a UDX that will use those values to calculate your invert elevation, which you can then use for annotation.
