In Inventor, when editing a sketch I've occasionally seen the 'Edit Dimension' dialog box being blank and truncated similar to this:
The value field is not selectable.
Instead of the usual Edit Dimension dialog box with the value and parameter.
What typically fixed this is running the Inventor Reset Utility:
Note: Ensure that Windows User Account Control is turned off to allow the utility to delete folders and registry keys to reset Inventor
If resetting Inventor doesn't help, run through a manual uninstall of Inventor:
Clean uninstall of Inventor 2019
Delete these folders and registry keys after uninstalling Inventor from Windows Control Panel:
For Inventor 2019 delete these folders:
- C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Local\Autodesk\Inventor 2019
- C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Inventor 2019
- C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 2019
- C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Inventor 2019
- C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\Autodesk\Inventor 2019
And delete these Registry keys:
Use the Windows key + R > in the Run dialog box type in Regedit
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\Inventor\Current Version
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\Inventor\RegistryVersion23.0
