Assist for comma and dot – regional – keyboard – bug – SketchUp

Hi there SU group.

I often work in USA and Europe/South America and the dot is used as comma and vice versa to symbolize decimal level (comma) or 1000’s separator relying the nation the place you’re.

All of the software program that I’ve put in, takes the enter of the dot within the quantity pad, and in response to the area settings, it’s going to invoke the corresponding comma or dot relying on the area. It can allways be used as decimal level/comma separator.

Nonetheless, for SU the dot within the numpad it’s at all times a dot, no matter OS settings.

Easy instance with the calculator (however I’ve tried different apps such excel and third events)

I set OS config for US (language, area, and keyboard) / I open an utility (any)

I enter for example 99 (hit the dot within the num pad) and 9 once more. And the appliance takes 99.9

I alter the OS to be configure for Europe (i.e Spain, Argentina) Open utility (ie. Calculator)

I enter 99 (hit the dot within the numpad) and 9 once more and the appliance takes 99,9 (observe the comma as a substitute the dot)

Not in a position to make use of SU in identical approach and I exploit the numpad lots for sizing objects in SU.

Word

• Earlier than I posted this remark, I’ve looked for options on this discussion board and the answer is to vary the OS configuration. Nonetheless, it shouldn’t be this the answer.
• It doesn’t matter what my SU model is… all of them act the identical for the reason that final 5 variations at the least
• It doesn´t matter model of home windows I’ve, since I attempted W7, W8 and W10 with totally different SP and identical outcome

Having the identical concern. I gained’t change the system settings as described in different threads as a result of it merely isn’t how you utilize the decimal system right here in Germany (and different international locations too!) and subsequently how you utilize it in each different app too.
I beleave it’s completely needed for SU to incorporate an choice to vary between comma and dot so the App will get extra accessible to all international locations the place commas are getting used. Proper now its simply irritating, considering of earlier native variations the place this hadn’t been a difficulty.

Hi there, being french talking, with comma in my numeric pad, is there now an answer to commute dot and comma ?

Thanks prematurely,

The decimal and checklist separator characters SketchUp makes use of are decided by your laptop’s regional settings. In Europe, the default decimal separator is the comma. Within the USA, the dot/interval.

You possibly can change your settings both by choosing a special area or create customized settings within the Home windows Management panel>Time and Language>Further date, time and regional settings>Area>Further settings. Altering these settings will have an effect on all of your purposes, not simply SketchUp.

Bonjour à tous, et merci à ANSSI pour sa réponse rapide. J’ai trouvé une answer “bricolée” pour disposer du level du pavé numérique (Home windows 10, clavier Azerty, pavé numérique “belge” avec virgule. Dans les paramètres linguistiques de home windows, j’ai ajouté une seconde langue (j’ai choisi Français, canada, j’ai modifié le clavier pour prendre le clavier Azerty, et dans les paramètres spéciaux régionaux, j’ai modifié le symbole numérique, et le symbole monétaire de virgule vers le level. Lorsque je travaille avec Sketchup, je sélectionne ce clavier francais canada, et hop le tour est joué. Mais effectivement, cela me met un level dans toutes mes purposes customary, sauf dans libre workplace qui proceed à mettre une virgule… J’écris ce publish volontairement en Français, avec traduction “automatique” ci-dessous, pour mes collègues francophones.
Hi there everybody, and thanks to ANSSI for its fast response. I discovered a “DIY” answer to have the purpose of the numeric keypad (Home windows 10, Azerty keyboard, “Belgian” numeric keypad with comma. Within the Home windows linguistic settings, I added a second language (I selected French, Canada, I modified the keyboard to take the Azerty keyboard, and within the particular regional settings, I modified the numeric image, and the comma to dot financial image. After I work with Sketchup, I choose this french keyboard canada, and presto, voila. However really, that places me in all my customary purposes, besides in free workplace which continues to place a comma … I write this publish voluntarily in French, with translation “automated” beneath, for my French talking colleagues.

An outdated joke got here to my thoughts. The title of the summer time palace of the Prussian kings in Potsdam (close to Berlin) is often spelled “Sanssouci”, however really the facade carries the inscription “SANS, SOUCI.” That may learn as “Sans virgule souci level”. Frederic “The Nice” was keen on this sort of humor.

Any information about this topic?

I at all times had this downside with SU. Since I exploit the comma because the decimal separator, when getting into numbers in SU I’ve to make use of the comma on the primary keyboard as a substitute of the dot key on the numerical keypad”

With Excel, I’ve no downside.

I’ve been signalling this glitch/bug since at the least model 6 they usually by no means corrected it.

That is on PC home windows machine.

On my Mac, it really works completely (and has at all times labored nicely) getting into a comma once I use the dot key on the numerical keypad.

Is there a devoted French Canadian keyboard setting that you just use? Or French? My Finnish keyboard has at all times produced a comma from the numerical keypad. It was an issue with AutoCad that solely makes use of the dot separator.

customary French format will kind a comma from the numerical keypad EXCEPT in sketchup the place it’s going to kind a dot.

Bother is, when you use your PC in customary french parameters, the dot separator doesn’t imply something. and it’s important to go together with a correct comma.

one thing in SU forces the keypad separator to be a dot no matter the place you’re. and in half the instances it turns into ineffective.

In case you are French? As mentioned, it really works for the Finnish/nordic keyboard format. @Colin, what have the builders in opposition to the French?

yeah, by no means thought of that. that is French bashing yet again ! is it due to Irak ? like french freedom fries ?

Over time, I’ve seen it on… perhaps 50+ PCs (coaching centres and college students)
In some instances, they might change the quantity system (to have the dot for decimal), however then it will trigger issues in different lessons on different softwares.

I exploit a QWERTY French Canadian keyboard on my Mac. No downside there.

The identical with the PC however it’s a firm’s machine and I can’t tweak it simply.
