Oddity with the quotation

Hi everyone.

I'm asking for your help because I have a quirk going on during my listing.
Usually when I want to make a quote it happens in 2 clicks but here I am forced to do it in 3 clicks and in addition the dimension is light years away from the sheet.

Do you know where it comes from?

Thank you in advance.

A screenshot, video or image at least would be very useful to understand the problem.

Yes, I just modified :wink:
Thank you

First of all, start by turning off the machine.
Then

  • which version of SW?
  • Does it happen only on this level or on all levels?
  • Existing plans or just created?

It's not really that. Let me quickly explain, before to take a dimension I clicked on an edge then on the 2nd and it gave me the dimension in the extension. But now I have to click on the edges and then click again a 3rd time (as if I had to validate) to get the rating and as you see it can be put anywhere...

I'm on SW 2020, PC restarted and it does this to me on all plans and even old plans.

Wouldn't you have activated Instant 2d by chance?

A silly question; Have you made a bare backup of your settings? If so, have you tried a restoration?

no it's true that I don't think about it ... I haven't saved. I'll still try to restore

EDIT: Well it's dead, I don't have a saved file... the loose !!

Hello

We have the same kind of bug in 2020 SP3.0.
What is your service pack? the Sp5.0?

This is SP3.0

Well, I can't explain it, but today everything is working "normally".

I haven't touched anything since yesterday.
In any case, thank you for all your suggestions and help.

Ah, the joys and meanders of computing :slightly_smiling_face: :upside_down_face: :slightly_smiling_face: :upside_down_face:

Hello

So my advice is to switch to Sp5.0.
Never work with anything other than the latest service pack. There are really too many bugs on the previous versions...
