A little question... [comma or dot]

on other OS's (like my Hungarian) it is 4,5;6,7
ugh.. that'd be enough to make me quit using sketchup
@icoff, in case you missed this, the english version of sketchup doesn't act this way and will let you enter the numbers in the manner you're asking.. so, you seem to read/write english well enough -- maybe switch to that version ?
[edit] oh.. i see you've found a solution… does that change take effect system wide? that could be a problem too i think..

Well Jeff, it's OS (language) related not SU's version (language) related. I have an english version of SU and I have to use comma and semicolon.

Indeed. The OS "decides". And it is buggy as hell - and no matter that in each new beta all non-English users we try to get them to do something; they never change anything.
An example of the glitch why it is completely unusable:
You try to move something entering 3D coordinates as per the method posted here:
http://support.google.com/sketchup/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=94863Now for me to move an entity to the origin, I would need to enter these values to the VCB:
[0;0;0]But to enter either the
[]brackets or the semicolon;I need to press Ctrl+Alt - and Ctrl for Move means to copy (and clears all the entry I have entered so far) so I am there get f#&@@ked and cannot use the tool which should be something basic. -

i've seen these topics before (the comma topics) but never engaged or read enough to get the details..

Hi Jeff, I know that the english version probably work like I wish, but my english is not so good to work with a program like SU..... and secondly, as Gaieus said, is a ploblem of SO. Indeed I can change in the preferences if I want the comma of the dot as decimal separator but don't change the key in the keypad....
With this little program I have changed only this key. I try all the other letters and simbols and all works fine....

Not a big deal if you get used. Btw if you were European your signature would be "commacommacomma"?

(and yeah.. I'm just being whiney about the comma thing on purpose.. (maybe venting some fiberglass frustration here).. i'm sure i'd get used to it and be just fine with it))

The only solution i could find until now ia a simple freeware key-mapper http://www.inchwest.com/mapkeyboard.htm
It solved my point to komma problem on the num-pad in Sketchup ,but also in Google spreadsheet.Bep

Guys manipulate your windows the way it wants to manipulate you. You can also do this on macs.
Sorry for Portuguese control panel, it happens I was born in a comma/dot+comma world.
