helo, new to the forum en busy to test viacad V9.
I’ have a little problem.

I willdraw a circle and use Center Point Circle ( or any other tool)
I point with the mouse the center; click left mouse- use keyboard TAB and want to enter a diameter..

but :
somethimes I can enter a value p.e. 20 but in the screen I see in the diameter field some additional figures like p.e. 201.345
I have the impression that sometimes the field is not cleared and what you type com in front of wat was already in the field….

but when it draw the circle at p.e. 20 mm. and I hit enter after entring via keyboard the diameter I see also a very big circle who was draw….


What is wrong or what I do wrong.
Ship modelling is not a hobby, it has become a way of live.

Hello beagle

What is happening is the field you are entering values in is getting selected when you hit tab but, if your mouse is still moving when you hit tab the values in the field are replaced with the mouse input. Key is that you mouse cant be moving when you press tab or after you tab into the field unless you set the last point and are just modify the value to what you desire.

2 Options:

1. Start tool center point circle
2. click first point
3. move mouse to start to drag the circle
4. Stop moving mouse before tab is pressed.
5. press tab dont move mouse again
6. enter value
7. enter




1. Start tool center point circle
2. click first point
3. move mouse to start to drag the circle then do second click to use the mouse point to enter a value
4. press tab
5. enter value
6. enter

Before I forgot. I'm working with a Mac --> El capitan V10.11.4 and a Azerty Keyboard. ( must hit shift to enter figures)

and I see in the entry fielmds that test are filled as soon I move the mouse ( X-Y-Z value and Diametr field takes the diameter of the cirkel I have after left click and witte move of mouse. the key input is inserted at that value.
