I suddenly am unable to tab into the measurements window. It worked before but now whenever I draw a rectangle, the measurements window will indicate a measurement but when I try to tab into it to change the dimensions, nothing happens. Fustrating
Although clicking focus into the measurements box works on Mac, you really don’t need to! Just let go of the mouse and type your values.
I don’t think it was ever possible to “tab into the Measurements window.” It certainly has never been required. As Steve indicates, just let go of the mouse and type. If the Measurements window is available for input, the field background will be white and the window will be labeled for the type of entry it is expecting based on the tool you are using.

Thanks Dave,
I think I am mixing up CAD software (TurboCAD for many years) and of course old age.
Thanks
The trouble with this, i have the same in 2022 is that you cannot change a single number in the box, you have to change all the measurements. it is super frustrating.
Why did you put 2021 in your forum profile?
What kind of measurements are you typing?
I mean 2021, when you start typing the box empties, then you have to type x and y. With the tab you can change just one number and make one measurement one meter wider for example.
Probably spend more time tabbing than just retyping the dimension.
i work with super complex models, i don’t remember every measurement in my model. By changing the numbers it’s easy adjustment. It a big miss that this changed in 2022. Tabbing is also a common thing in every cad software.
I work with super complex models, too…
