Unable to paste dimension from clipboard

Reno_Raines01 — Mon, 05 Apr 2021 14:24:12 GMT

Hello,

when using the inspect tool to measure something, if I then hover over the result value in the measure panel I get the prompt 'click to copy to clipboard'. After I click the value and then want to use this value to dimension something I'm unable to paste the value into the dimension box, when I right click over the dimension box (either in sketch, or the move tool, ...) nothing happens, no right click menu pops up.

The right click menu works fine for all other applications in fusion and when i check the clipboard, the value has been copied to it, Fusion just wont let me paste it into a dimension box.

Using Fusion on a macbook.

Thanks, Christof.

yes, you are correct: there is no right click menu when editing a dimension or other input. Just use CTRL-V to paste the value into the input box. See the attached video

Sometimes the simplest solutions get overlooked 😀, thank you.
