SW2003 SP 4 Has anyone noticed this?

Sorry if this is a dumb question:

After installing SP 4, I can no longer enter "formulas" in the dimension
dialogue box. (i.e. .375+.0312) When dimensioning, I used to be able to
"cheat" in order to not have to use decimal equivalents charts. (I am a
newww-bee) It also comes in handy for other things, though. TIA

 

Sound like VBA isn't set up right. SW uses VBA for all user defined
formulas. Usually you'll get an error during SW installation when this
happens. Are you sure it worked prior to applying SP4 ??. . Service packs
just replace or modify existing files. I don't think they modify the
registry at all. Mine works... Below is a simple fix that may solve the
problem.

Close SW.

From explorer, go to the VBA folder under the SW2003 installation folder.

Double click "vba6.msi" to reinstall VBA

Reboot, and see if it works. If not you'll probably have to do a registry
clean, and re-install.

I have this problem too and I'm running 2001 sp3. It has to do with the
parser .How you space the numbers seems to have an effect. It's not to
consistant. I wonder if they use a different input program at different
instances.

I just tried this experiment. I have no problem. Try again.
