CC 464 and 467 - tool lib and metric data trouble

Hi,
I tried to use the latest beta version of CC and get some trouble with the tool lib.
I duplicated the original library and added a new tool in mm.

(please ignore the values for the moment).
After opening the tool again, I get the following picture:

All decimal commas are exchanged by a “.” and if I try to save the tool I get an error because the “.” is not valid for “mm”.

Update: still in 467, same for older versions and current stable version.

By the way:
I think I understand why you change the way how you handle metric and imperial but the big disadvantage of doing it in this way is: You can not easy check if there is a similar tool in your library without taking a pocket calculator …
It would be great to switch between both by a common switch for all tools.

I am afraid that our software isn’t properly internationalized and that in order to use it you will need to change the decimal separator in your OS settings to a period. Once you make that change the values should register as expected.

Some folks make a separate user account just for CNC to have this setting only there.

Thank you for the fast response.
I will use the older version till this bug is solved.

I hope that this topic will be not at the end of the wish list :pray:

I think (because I had the same issue three years ago when starting to use CC) that ALL versions have this problem. Also, don’t hold your breath, I’m pretty sure there are more urgent matters in the CC development roadmap than proper internalization. My fix was to change my decimal separator at OS level from “,” to “.” (i.e. give in to the dark side). Unless you do tons of Excel stuff and your brain is hardwired to use “,” for decimal numbers, it’s a minor inconvenience. As Will said, you could still create a dedicated user profile that has “.” as the decimal separator, and keep “,” for your main profile. I did not bother, it’s too much hassle to logout/login just to switch from CC to something else.
