Can't apply values in any direction when using edit form. How do I fix this so I can edit a freeform using direction values?

I am trying to use edit form on a freeform shape. When I double click on the centerline I want to edit the form and make it wider in the middle. However, I can only click and drag it but not input a specific value such as 15 mm. In the tutorial that I am watching, the directional inputs are visible next to locate. How do I fix this so I can also add specific value inputs?

HI!

I guess you are selecting the symmetry plane instead of the geometry.

Try to select a node in the geometry and drag it.

Hi!
It does not matter what kind of transformation I try to make or if I select the plane or node. I still do not get the option of adding a specific input on how much I want to transform it in i.e. the Z-direction.

I have uploaded the part. It is probably an application setting or something that can activate it, but I can't find it.

Hi! I believe it was a known bug in 2023 RTM version. Please install 2023.1 update. The issue should go away.

Many thanks!

Hi!

That actually worked! It did not cross my mind that it required an update, thank you very much!
