Inch or mm and clear drawing missing?

[OveRoenn]

Hello all.
I have purchased a Shapoko XXL it is standing in boxes at home.
To be ready to start using it when i come home (sailor) i have downloaded the Carbide Create but when i look at youtube it does not look the same.
When i switch from inch to mm the numbers get red as if it is out of scale. if i put in 10 inch and change to mm the numbers turns red and 254.000 mm. ???
I am from Denmark and would like to use mm instead of Inch.
The clear drawing field is not existing. ???
Can anybody help or explain
Thank you in advance.

most likely a localization issue, I had the same pb, this try:

Values showing up as red and cannot type dot character?

You need to change the decimal separator in your internationalization setup from comma to a period. I’m afraid Carbide 3D’s software isn’t properly internationalized. @edwardrford @robgrz — it would be nice if we’d use native toolkits for software development so that this sort of thing would “just work”.

Clear drawing option was removed. Just select File/New from the top menu and it will give you a new clear drawing.

@Julien is correct.

The text is in red because when it changes from an integer to a decimal number the wrong (.) decimal separator is used, so that system sets it to be not a number.
