comma instead of dot

[stan.ciesielski]

hello,
I got problem with typing values into AutoCAD LT 2007 - when I hit "dot" button on my numeric keybord I get "comma" instead - the difference is as obvious as annoying. Can I make it right? and where? CAD settings or somewhere in the control panel?
I'd appreciate any help.

What happens if you use the "." and "," on the main keyboard?
What nationality keyboard/keyboard driver are you using?
Doe this occur in other programmes?

On the main keyboard both, dot and comma works just fine.
Drivers are for polish keyboard + Windows PL
When searching forums I found out that the issue is connected with the International Settings in Windows Control Panel, and as long as I want to be able to type unique for polish alphabet letters I can do nothing about it.

I thought it might be something like that. In International settings, is the decimal divider a comma?

edit - I'm not approaching a solution here, just asking.

Yes, it's a comma.

Looks like the green ones are bit out of luck here.

Hello,

I figured it out how to make autocad put comma in your command line when you hit comma on your numeric keyboard - the explenation is on attached .jpg:

All that has to be done is to add additional language to your language toolbar (for example: american) so you can switch between then whenever you want to.

One thing I hope is that I wasn't the last cad user who did not know that...

[the screens for the .jpg where made on a polish version of Windows, but buttons should be in the same places no matter the language - so I think it's eatable :)]
