This is embarrasing

This is embarrasing

(OP)
I started to use SolidWorks this morning, started a sketch and I'm not able to modify the dimension. Sketch circle, size shows up highlighted, try to change and it will not take the new dimension. This was working fine last night, I have rebooted the computer several times and it has no effect. I have opened up parts I did last night and I can't change dimensions on sketches. Anyone have any idea what might have happened?

Thanks in advance

Run the SolidWorks Rx to see what it reports.
Did a Windows update occur & change something it shouldn't?
Try rolling back to a Windows Restore Point.

Hi Dennis,

Make sure you haven't accidentally hit Num Lock and turned off the keypad! It would still accept entry with the top numerical keys and scroll wheel.

Just a thought smile

SincoTC,

You hit it right on the head. I started using a new Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse. Love it but it does have a short coming, no indicator lights so you have to hit a key to check it's status. Sure enough it was the damn NUM LOCK key. Thanks guys for the quick response.

Dennis,
In windows there is an option to play an alert sound or visual cue when a control key or numlock is toggled. At least you didn't clear the Delete key from your kbShortcuts rofl many of us have been there I'm sure.
