Cannot Change Active Units

When I go to "Change Active Units" - and change the default popup from "millimeters" to "inches" - the "Ok" button remains greyed out, not letting me change them.

 

This happens even if I try it from a brand new document.

 

Is something wrong here?

Hi,

 

 

Does it accept the  change in units if you press the Enter key on your keyboard while it's like this?

 

Thanks,

I don't know. After it did this - it started doing some other weird UI things - like hiding or obscuring toolbars. A restated the app and everything was fine.

 

I seem to have noticed similar behavir with other dialogs - OK button not enabling when it should. Sometimes I have to try a [simple] operation twice to get it to enable. I've been seeing other UI weirdness too. Like keyboard keys not working ("L" for line in sketch mode) not working, for example when entering a sketch. But when I select "line" from the meny, everyhing is good - and after that the "L" key works.

 

I never see these problems with my (Windows 7) PC - I'm thinking they're Mac-specific UI issues - maybe?

Please let us know if this repeats with any regularity. If it is the known problem, simply hitting Enter will commit the commands when OK is not active. Or another test is to RMB on the open canvas somewhere and see if OK becomes active.

 

The good news is we are just starting to test a major fix in the UI area that should resolve a lot of these focus issues. We need a month or two of testing to ensure a great experience for you, so sorry about any trouble in the meantime.
