Smart dimensions defaults?

    Recently I had to re-install SW as I wiped my C: as a drastic measure to
    repair virus damage.

    Anyway, now in SW, when I use smart dimensions to dimension up sketches as I
    go, when I click to 'put down' the dimension, thats exactly what happens.
    The dimension is added and fixed, and I have to double click it to get the
    box up to type in what I actually want it to be.(smart dimension tells me
    what the dimension of what I'm measuring is)

    Before, when I clicked to 'put down' the dimension, this box came up
    automatically, every time.(Smart dimension gives me the option to set the
    size I want)

    Can someone point me to the setting to 'fix' this.

    Many thanks.
