Using dot instead of comma
-
Hello folks! Does anyone know how to use "dot" (.) instead of "comma" (,) to insert the measuring values onto SketchUp? It would be a great help to me, since I use AutoCAD, which uses dot to insert values.
-
The standard US/UK etc usage is '.' as the decimal-separator and the ',' as the values-separator - e.g. 1.23 or [1.2,3,0]
BUT some locales [EU etc] use a ',' as the decimal-separator and then you have to use the ';' as the values-separator - e.g. 1,23 or [1,2;3;0]
I don't think you can use a '.' to separate values ? -
No, you cannot. I would be using it if it were possible. I cannot type a semicolon without pressing Ctrl+Alt (or AltGr which in SU triggers the Ctrl - i.e. "Copy" function) to type these symboles:
[]<>;So for instance an absolute positioning/moving operation is impossible.
Don't tell me to report it as a bug. This is my 4th or 5th "season"
with SU bug reporting and have reported it several times. -
yes, you can.
you need to change the decimal separating and number grouping indicators from OS's control table.
for MAC - System Preferences>Language&Region, hit Advanced button, change Number Separators.
But be careful this will be changed for whole system and in every other program you use.

The use of some locale's alternative decimal-point as a ',' [versus '.'] and the 'separator' as ';' [versus ',']
now work on many locales...
Unfortunately SketchUp has been somewhat tardy in fixing some issues...
For example, when typing absolute/relative coordinates into the VCB [requiring a ] or > etc] - then this
can cause SketchUp to skip the input [aka 'fail'].
This is a known issue... although there are PC based [temporary] fixes using PC's AutoHotKeys... obviously it should be fixable at the Trimble end !
