Question

Can't enter dimensional value after double click in model sketch

We are currently using Creo 8.0.2.0, and when I double-click on a dimension to enter or edit the value, the prompt comes up and then immediately disappears (see attached images).  I have less than one second to try and enter a new value.

I'm not having any issues with Creo 8.0.7.0.  The white box doesn't go away until I click 'Enter', no matter what I do with the mouse.  Are other users at your location having this same issue?  Maybe temporarily swap our your mouse and keyboard for different ones and see if that makes any difference.

Hello,

One of my coworker has the same issue on her CREO 7.0.12.0.

My other coworkers an I, with the same version of CREO 7.0, doesn't have this issue at all.

 

It appears randomly on her computer : sometimes it works just fine, sometimes the double-click edit doesn't work.

Quick fix:

Select Show Browser and close all of the tabs.

Long term fix: add the following to config.pro:

enable_3dmodelspace_browser_tab no

enable_partcommunity_tab no

enable_resource_browser_tab no

enable_punditas_browser_tab no

web_browser_homepage about:blank

 

See this discussion: Solved: Re: Cannot edit dimensions in sketcher any more - PTC Community

And this article: Article - CS378868 - In Creo Parametric Sketcher mode, impossible to enter a dimension by double click, the menu is exited automatically. (ptc.com)

 

 

There is always more to learn.

Thank you, the line "web_browser_homepage about:blank" worked.
