I used to be able to type something like 5'5" or 5'+5" into smart dimension, but something happened and it stopped accepting ' and "
I can still type in 5ft 5in, but its not accepting ' and " anymore
How do I fix this so I can still type the dimensions as it was before
I would stick with a standard. I have never seen 5'+5" before.
