Hello,

I'm currently having a (seemingly random) issue when trying to modify sketch dimensions of parts...

usually when I'm entering dimensions (regardless of base template units) I'm able to enter values in the following fashion:

ex)

1"

1.5"

1 1/2"

solidworks will normally accept these inputs and convert whatever entry to the base units of the template...

now, some times when I enter values followed by the " (inch) mark I'm given the following pop-up...

ex)

"Create a new global variable named "1”" ?"

Yes / No

^ where I would have tried to enter 1" as my dimensional value

I do not have any equations in the parts / assemblies... or any active filters that would think I'm editting equations... the odd thing is that it doesn't prompt this "error" for every dimensional change, I have not yet observed a pattern as the problem has just surfaced

I am still able to enter inch values by typing "in"

anyone have any advice? seen this problem before?... not a HUGE deal but even 1 extra letter when entering dimensions becomes a chore after the 10th / 100th / 1000th change...

thanks again,

- Jeff
