Issues entering numbers

Anonymous
Not applicable
All of a sudden when I go to type in something with two numbers it won't recognize the second number I type or will recognize it incorrectly. For example- I'm trying to scale a 3d view on a sheet and when I type in 90 to shrink it from 100% to 90% it only picks up the 9 and scales it to 9%. Another example- When I try to type in a length such as 56" it picks it up as 5'-6" even though I only hit the 5 and the 6 button on my keyboard. This also leads me to not be able to type in double digits like 12', instead interpreting that as 1'-2". How do I fix this?

Just out of interest, what is the setting you have in the Work Environment for the 'Dialogue Box Auto-update Delay'.

If it is very low, then it will not give you enough time to enter the text before auto accepting it.

Hit: show/hide "tracker" in the toolbar.

Than it automaticly turns of "Relative coordinates in tracker".

Happend to me while turning off "trace".
