Help!! in Sketchup Pro 2018, when using the tape measure tool, when entering a dimension, pressing the space bar activates the 'geo-location ’ option under Model information. It prevents me from using the space bar. I’ve tried adding a location, deleting a location, setting manual location. All to no avail . How do I get out of this? Can I disable this geo-location thing? It only does this some of the time. Not in all drawing files or not all the time within a particular drawing file? Why? thx ---

See: > [@Spacebar doesn't complete command and return to arrow](https://forums.sketchup.com/t/spacebar-doesnt-complete-command-and-return-to-arrow/1664/7): > > On Mac, when Accessibility is turned on, it’ll intercept space bar. You’ll see this by System Preferences-\>Keyboard and the Shortcuts tab, where tab moves keyboard focus between “All Controls”. If you change this to “Text boxes and lists only”, or type Ctrl-F7, it wont interfere. However, you miss the little blue silhouette and the ability to use space bar to click on the blue-halo selected item.
