UG NX7.5 How to Retain user input in dialog boxes.

[mag00n]

Running UG NX 7.5.3.3 on a x64 OS.

Can someone point me to the setting or tick box to allow input to be retained in edit curve dialog boxes after a command has been executed?

Example: If I use the 'curve length' command to extend both sides of a line by 50mm, when I hit 'apply' the start and end dialog boxes revert back to 0.00000.
This is extremely irritating if I have to extend multiple lines by that same distance and have to manually type it in each time.

This retention is possible as my laptop running the same OS and the same version of NX does retain the input. So I can just select a line, hit apply, select a line, hit apply, etc.

All other dialog boxes retain input (extrude, offset face, offset surface, etc.)

I don't recall this particular dialog ever retaining the previous values. However, there is NO need to ever having to "manually type" the same values into any dialog entry box since all you have to do is select the small 'down' arrow at the Right side of the entry box and you will be presented with, in addition to alternative ways of entering a value, a list of the most recently used values which you can simply select the desired one without any need for retyping.
