Hi Ditto, you'll need to use a space for separating x y z coordinates if your language settings in Windows are set to have the comma character used as the decimal point separator, like if your language settings say that the fractional number 1/2 should be printed as a decimal number as: 0,5

That's because when you go to type in a point MoI also accepts typing in a single number at that same time as well which activates distance constraint using that number as the distance value. Distance constraint affects the next point pick with the mouse.

So for example if you type in 0,5 and your locale settings use the comma as the decimal separator it will be interpreted as the fractional value 1/2 and not as x = 0 y = 5 . Instead put in a space between them to do x y z values.

If you want to use comma values instead, you can make that happen by changing your OS settings to use a period (.) as the decimal point separator instead - when the period is used as a decimal separator then you do use a comma for x,y,z values.

The setting for that in Windows is under Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Customize button > Decimal symbol:



If you change that setting (note that it's a system wide setting) to have a period, then the next time you run MoI you will be able to enter in x,y,z coordinates with commas instead of spaces and for entering in a single number you would use the . character for the decimal point instead of ,
