The new feature that allows adding units to a custom property in SW2024 has caused more problems than it solved for many users (see https://help.solidworks.com/2024/englis ... m_prop.htm if you aren't familiar with it).

Here is the link to vote to fix it, if anyone is interested: https://r1132100503382-eu1-3dswym.3dexp ... _uGMHhpQxg

Voted. This is a good example of why things need to be tested throughly before being released lol.

Testing?
Let the user test it.

SW always has problem with UI.
Their developers might be using mind control instead of mouse and keyboard.

Just a note that arrow navigation is still possible in combination with the ENTER key. I tested that in SW 2024 SP2.0. and it works fine.

In a nutshell, press Enter after every edit, then use the arrows to move around.

I downloaded and installed SW2024 sp 3.1 yesterday. I am happy to say that this issue is fixed. Maybe the one with the new method of re-attaching dimensions will be next?

Good luck, can't imagine Dassault would ever give an option for this kind of user interface behaviour - they never have before. The similar problem with the Property Manager where the completely useless drop down for selecting units blocks input boxes underneath for me is much more annoying and has been around forever.
