I click on the rectangle, I click on the drawing, then I enter two dimensions separated by a comma, and hit Return. Or Enter.
It only works when it damn well feels like it.
The committee that lives in my head, meeting in emergency session, has executed the member in charge of CAD, and put out a shoot-on-sight warrant and a reward, dead or alive, for any of the little men that live in my computer, and run the Sketchup program.
I intend to subdue them (temporarily) with vodka, and ask if anyone else can help before this gets bloody.

Solved it.
Thou shalt not hit tab before typing in thy dimension box.
The genius (me) who solved this exercise in rocket science has been appointed to a permanent position on the committee.
Which means that I'm sitting in...
Wait...
I think it was the vodka that solved it.Too much vodka makes the screen go dark.
Morning Jammer ,
Hey , I am starting to be concerned ,, well about your " committee " is this a newish thang or has this same committee been there all along .
I'm just South of you about 6 hours and winter has not quite set in here yet I don't get that way until at least the middle of winter .
Do you need a visit or maybe a little road trip to talk some sense into the group ? Come on down and we can make some sawdust or catch a Steelhead or just whoop the living heck out of the committee .
regards dusty , a former committee chairman
Some people have an invisible friend. Evidently Jammer has enough of them to form a committee. It would be good of you to check up on him just in case. :)
Hey, Dusty.Six hours puts you a couple hours south of Portland, yeah?The committee's been there all along, but there's a pretty stiff turnover.When I'm bored, I hand them M-80s, and tell them to light them. When it goes off in their hands, that always scatters the rest of them for a couple days.
You know Jammer , my BIL lives there in Tacoma and many years ago he noticed he suffered from sunlight deprivation syndrome during the dark months .
He got some kind of daylight bulbs and would sit and read under them and he said it worked . Did you ever see the show Northern Exposure ? the old guy there suffered also and wore a lighted visor .
As long as Roberts rules are followed and the comm, members don't cause problems , you'll all get along fine .
Every now and then some other guy screws something up for me also .
just blame it on the comm , oic , hmmm .
dusty , back to the Walnut mine
That was one of the funniest episodes of that show-- an intervention on lightshades!I heard that there's a Death Squad from The Committee that's been out of touch since I solved the problem-- they just caught some poor sod in the deep, dark corners of my computer, and killed him with tazers...I really need to update my communications gear.But first, a nap.
Sketchup Crew Executed
I am enjoying a hardy chuckle over your thread title. The members of my standing committee on CAD are amused also, not knowing that they might be next in line. Perhaps a perfectly chilled vodka martini, with one scant drop of brandy added, and served with a twist in a frozen stemmed glass, would be in order....
