[Solved] Decimal symbol changing all by itself
-
Hi, everyone. Long time no post.
I'm having a problem: My decimal symbol within SU keeps changing by itself, even during the same SketchUp session, without closing it. Other programs, such as Draftsight and Inkscape, are unaffected. Sometimes it's a dot, sometimes it's a comma. This affects both SU and SU8. And this problem seems related to another with Collada export. Models exported in Collada become seriously oversized and distorted in Lumion. I'm also posting the same problem in the Lumion forum, but it seems to be on the SU side of things.
http://lumion3d.com/forum/importing/mysterious-problem-when-importing-collada-files-from-sketchup/msg47891/#msg47891This happened this week. Before, everything was normal. The only software I remember installing in the last few days was Synthesia, and the rest have been just routine Windows 7 updates.
UPDATE: Solved by reinstalling Windows.

Miguel,
What SU version (language version) are you using?
Edit: I have US as well as Hungarian keyboard mapping installed on my computer and first thought that when switching between them can cause this issue but now tested and no, SU keeps using the comma as decimal separator. So it seems it's indeed some weird system wide gremlin.

Csaba, I use English versions in both SU7 and SU8. My keyboard mapping has always been Spanish. Already tried a system restore back to december 26th (oldest restore point available), but the gremlin is still present. In fact, I have just witnessed how it changed from dot to comma within a minute, while working! .DAE export is also still defective.
Again this is only happening in SketchUp (which is now back to the non-trimble version after the system restore). And it only started happening this week. Weird.
I'll run the virus scan and if it finds nothing, I'll have to re-install Windows 7.
