Good day.
When creating a 3 point square.
you select the origin enter the width value let say 20mm...click which side width is going to be from the origin.
The next value would be the height.
but since the next value should be the height...and I always start typing the value and mess things up.

What I am trying to say in this situation for not needing to press tab for the next value....since the next value is the height anyways.
This will speed thing up.

tnx!

Hi Matadem,

I'm not understanding what you mean "not needing to press tab for the next value". The tab key is used for committing the current value and moving to the next field.

If you are going to enter in a numeric value for both width and height in a 3 point rectangle, you can do it by this sequence:

Pick base point

Type your width numeric value and press the Tab key.

The width will be set and keyboard focus will go to the Height field.

Type your height value and push Enter.

Then you can click 2 points to define the directions for the width and height.

Makes sense ...as I was using enter.

Tnx!

Hi Matadem, yes Enter will commit what you have typed and switch focus to the main window. If the command is showing a "Done" button then an additional Enter key will trigger "Done".

Tab will commit what you have typed and switch focus to the next input field.
