SketchUp doesn't recognize " symbolt of my keyboard - WINDOWS

Hi There,

I sometimes need to use different units as inputs (information cooing from carpenters (feet and fraction inches ) are different from metal workers (mm)).

I know that it’s possible to input dimensions straight to the measurement window. I often use this when I am in feet and fraction inches , then I would input units with mm.

This method doesn’t work when I am set mm and want to input " (inches) . It does work with ’ (feet). I looked it up and there is a suggestion why this is for MAC, but I can’t find an answer for WINDOWS. I am using UK keyboard and the " symbol comes up with SHIFT+2.

Did someone find the solution to this?

I know that you don’t need o input " when you are set to feet and inches units…T

Thank you.

I just tested with my Finnish keyboard. It has the same shift+2 key for " as yours, and it worked. I wonder if the same “smart quotes” setting as on the Mac lurks somewhere inside the Windows language settings, too.

Not sure. I tried to find something in WINDOWS settings, but nothing worked.

It does work with ArchiCAD tough…

It never work with SketchUp, but as you don’t need to use it when the units are set to feet and inches, this doesn’t caused problems.

Thank you

What Region and Keyboard settings do you have ?
e.g. . v , and , v ;
Also you can often setup your keyboard to always use ' & " rather than smart ’ & " etc…

Thank you for the suggestion.

I will try to find where to set up these up -always use certain symbols…

I am UK based with UK keyboard settings.
