UB 12.0.1 Bug? Part Wizard Step 3 of 7

Remember the old days, back when UB introduced range checking for numeric entry fields whose values were impractical to be zero?  Consider the dimension of an object.  How could something possibly have a zero dimension?  The user might have selected all the text in the field and started to type zero, and UB would rescue the user from the possibility that the entire entry would wind up being zero by adding a tiny minimum amount to the numeric entry field, while giving no clue to the user that it happened while the user typed merrily along. 

 

Unfortunately, there are still bits of this kind of thing remaining in UB.  In the example below, the user must at first deal with this feature of automatically correcting a zero entry to some tiny non-zero value, but on all subsequent attempts the numeric entry field works as one might expect.  It would be nice if it would just immediately work as a user might expect instead of UB making the user go through this little dance every time the Part Wizard is used.

Hello,

 

I noticed this too (You don't have to shift the focus away from Ustiboard, you can just select the text right after and type the value you want). Thanks for bringing this to our attention I have passed this issue along.

 

Kind regards,
