Ok. Tell me this isn't bizarre.
If I go to Tools, Application Options, Text Appearance,
and change from Arial back to the default of Tahoma, it works fine.

Hello Autodesk?????

Anymore, as Jane's Addiction said, "Nothing's shocking."

Ken,
I've just tried this on IV5.3 and 6.
It worked for thickness and diam.

Mike, Thanks for tip.

Another way, we have created user parameter "t" in SM template with equation "thickness",
so in hole dialog we are typing just "t" instead of "thickness"

In my experience, it looks likeIV variable (parameter) input is case
sensative. I kept inputing what I knew was correct & it didn't work until I
got the case (caps & lower case) right. Did anyone else notice this or am I
in the Twilight Zone? (BTWForest Whitaker is pretty good on that new
show -Rod Sterling's a tough act to follow).

I believe Inventor has always been case sensitive.
