Why can't I modify duct sizes??

I've got a drawing drawn in ABS4 and started in
ABS4 which has some ductwork in it.

I'd like to modify the size of piece of ductwork
but I can't.  I click on it, right click, modify, type in the new size in
the duct modify dialog and it resets the sizes back to the
original.

 

Any ideas as to what the problem might
be??

Maybe the duct layer was locked?

Nope.  That's not it.  Take a look at
the file I posted in the CF newsgroup called Wacky Ducts.

I could modify duct sizes without problem.

 

Could you please try another machine?

 

Thanks,

he didn't do it on my machine surely. That's happening now and then to me,
too. To make it more amusing, some duct sizes will "lock up" while others
you can modify at will. Definitely, I'm not able to modufy any section of
the duct that connect to the mid section of a riser.
