Hi, When entering coordinates to draw a square, Sketchup has different effects depending on whether you are using inches or centimeters. If the metric units are inches, you can enter value 2.5,2.5 or 2.5; 2.5 If we draw in centimeters, we can only enter value 2,5; 2,5 and there is no alternative …

Is this related to language? I am in the UK which means I use metric but a full stop as a decimal point. It is standard practice in the rest of Europe to use a comma as a decimal point, so presumably it works differently for them.

In fact, in Europe there are differences in the use of periods and commas depending on the country. Nevertheless, I would like to ask for help, because I would like to actively use the virtual keyboard. I assume that people who use the reverse format in Europe would also want to be able to choose t…

Therefore there is a problem to enter both dimensions (height and width) without a physical keyboard [2] of course, this is true for all shapes that have more than one parameter to enter I will be grateful for any help, hint, suggestion (new feature) or plugin :slight_smile:

I haven’t ever seen a period as dimension separator. The parsing of length inputs is already not trivial (supporting combinations of languages & locales & decimal separators). Extensions also have no access to customize (hijack) this. I think instead of suggesting an implementation (of which you …

[image] This may be of interest, new from 3d Connexion KB and detached numpad Corner Bar I do have it. On my keyboard - by default - there is “comma” on my numpad. (See animation below.) Actually, the wording of the question is inaccurate. The question - as the commen…

It is possible to customise these settings but they will then apply system wide, to all your applications. In Windows, go to Time and Language settings. Click the "Additional date, time & regional settings link. In the dialog that opens, click on "Change date, time or number formats. In the next wi…

If your system (windows or Mac OS is set to use the dot as the decimal separator and the coma as the list separator, you can enter both imperial and metric unit in the same way. The same is true if your system is set to use the coma as the decimal separator and the semi colon as the list separator. …

Thank you for your answers. The hardware and software supplier is 3Dconnexion. I have already written a request for a feature on their forum, but the topic is waiting for approval by the moderator. SpaceMouse product line by 3Dconnexion I checked the idea of adding a new virtual keyboard under …
