Dimension Window
Dimension Window
(OP)
Just started using 2013 and I'm finding the Dimension Window is giving me some headaches.
I'm asking (trying to find out) if others are experiencing this or is it something particular
to my system and perhaps a setting acting strangely. When adding a dimension the window pops
up and the spin bar lays right over the buttons. I find myself having to wrestle with the spin
bar to get it out of the way and view the buttons to accept a dimension, restore it...and so on.
Kind of drag. I don't remember having this in 2012.... please see attached screen capture.
Thanks for your insights.

RE: Dimension Window
Looks like a bad install. Do you've any other system doing the same? If yes then completely uninstall and do a fresh install if you can.

I do not have 2013 installed, so I cannot test the behavior here.

RE: Dimension Window
EEnd.... I tried your suggestion first (since that was less effort than uninstalling and reinstalling SW)
I changed the text size to medium, it was set on high.... and .... lo and behold, makes a huge difference.
The dimension dialogue window is now what I remember it being .... manageable. I had some other issues
with windows overlapping information, making that information unreadable. I'll see if making the text size change
solves that issue as well. Thanks very much for the suggestion.
