When I draw out a horizontal line in a sketch and type a dimension, the line locks at whatever dimension I drug it out to instead of extending out to the dimension that I typed out. If you notice in the screencast it worked properly once but when I hit the green check mark the line disappeared. This is the first time I have noticed this and I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this or had a solution.

Pretty weird. Make sure your keyboard works correctly. I could see the dimension with "4 in" was done correctly.
you should only press "tab key" when you want to add the angle and finally, enter.
Idk what happens here. Can you try this in another CAD software or even writing a document or this only happens in fusion 360?
Hi,
This is currently a problem especially with W 7.
My recommendation:
First create the elements without dimensioning and then assign them with the dimensioning tool.

This is only happening in Fusion 360. I have been working in other CAD software but I went to make a 3D model of a 2D drawing and that is when I noticed this.
Well, checking what @g-andresen said, maybe it is better if you get another windows version. 🙁
@whittakerdw That is not surprising. All applications have different requirements.
Windows 7 is no longer supported by Microsoft or Fusion 360. There is no plan at this point to restart support for Windows 7 in Fusion 360, meaning this will not get fixed. It would be best to start planning a transition to Windows 10.
@g-andresenthat seemed to do the trick. Since this is a work computer, I do not have the authority to download a new version of windows but I will see if I can since Fusion is no longer supported on Windows 7. But in the meantime this seems to work. Thank you for that.
