Carbide Create won't let me add a new tool to the Tool Database

Today I wanted to add a new end mill to my tool database. I created a new library, added a new tool, and started entering the information.

Oddly enough, I found that CC would not let me enter a diameter of 3.175 mm - I could enter 3 mm, 3.1 mm, but not 3.17 or 3.175 mm. When I tried to enter one of those values, CC would highlight the field, as if indicating some kind of error.

Eventually, I created the tool with a diameter of 3 mm and then manually edited the .csv file.

Does anyone have an explanation for this strange behaviour?

Iā€™m afraid this is the old issue of CC not being fully internationalized yet, to work around that you need to change the decimal separator in the internationalization setup of your OS from a comma to a period.

What version and build are you running?

Well, of course it was an i18n issue - once I changed the system locale to US English, everything worked fine. Still strange that it did allow me to enter values with a single decimal point.
