Change comma to period

Hello!

 

I have installed the student version of AutoCAD on my new MacbookPro. As I am working with a Belgian AZERTY keyboard, I already changed my settings for decimals to the following:

 

Separating numbers:

- groups: space

- decimals: ,

 

Valuta:

- groups: space

- decimals: ,

 

With this i can work with the comma button ("," in between the "0" and the "Enter" on my external keypad) for numeric values (eg "one and a half" is "1,5") properly in Numbers and the calculator. 

 

BUT only AutoCAD doesn't accept these settings. When I want to draw a line of one meter and a half, I would like to type "1,5" but instead AutoCAD reads this as X=1 and Y=5, which results in an angled line with a different length.

 

I would like to know how I can change this, because I would like to use "," on this keyboard as an actual decimal comma without needing to switch to my fixed keyboard and holding the shift key to type a dot ".".

 

Any advice is welcome!

 

Charlotte

Welcome to Autodesk Forums!

It is impossible in AutoCAD, as it is "hardwired" at the program level:

You can only adjust settings for dimension style, but not in command line.

it is possible:

 

System Preferences- Language and Region- at the bottom of the box click "Advanced"- then choose the dot/ comma under Number separators- Decimal and again under drop down box "decimal" under currency

You can do this on OS level and some applications will use these settings (for example - MS Word, MS Excel), but not AutoCAD.
