Virtual NumberPad Comma and Dot

Post by fenni »

Hello,
i´m using Spacepilot Pro in CAD soft as Autocad or Revit, I´m also used to work with wacom Cintiq so Virtual Numerpad is very important to me because I don´t have to take my hands off my Spacepilot pro and my wacom stylus.
Virtual NumberPad only has comma, but not dot. When working in decimal i need dot (I would like both, but dot is more important). Is there any way to change comma for dot in Virtual NumberPad?

Thanks, and sorry for my english.

Hello fenni -

With the language set to English, the character on the Virtual NumPad is a decimal. The character is based on the selected language. The European languages use commas.

To have the Virtual NumPad generate a decimal instead of a comma you would need to use Windows Regional Settings to select a language that uses a decimal.

Wikipedia shows which languages use a comma for the decimal symbol.

Hi fenni -

In Windows Regional and Language Options you can customize the decimal symbol used without changing the language. On the Regional Options tab under Standars and Formats there is a Customize box next to your selected language. The first item in Customize is Decimal Symbol.

Choose the decimal instead of the comma then stop and re-start the 3Dconnexion driver.[Start, All Programs, 3Dconnexion, Driver, Stop|Start Driver]

You should see the change take effect in the symbol the numpad generates.
