Gaieus, thanks you for the suggestion. It worked! This is different than the way previous versions of sketchup have performed of my computers, but easy to adjust to. Thanks,

i have posted this bug earlier but i am still looking for help. sketchup 7.1 on a macbook pro with snow leopard will not allow me to change the dimensions on a rectangle, circle, line, etc. when i type in the new measurements and press return the box highlights and nothing happens. i am unable to draw if i cannot specify measurements. is there anyone at sketchup that has a hint for what is happening here. i have tried all the suggestions in posts with no success. i have reinstalled 7.1 three or four times without change. sketchup 6 will still work with snow leopard. thanks, jack

I just downloaded the upgrade to SketchUp Pro 7.1. I am running Mac
OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard on a MacBookPro. I immediately discovered that most inputs to
the text entry field (lower right) had no effect (couldn't change
dimensions, numbers will highlight but no change takes effect.) I have read similar posts but
haven't found a fix yet other than reinstalling SketchUp Pro 7
