transformation odd problem

Hi i am new to corel community, i hope i wrote this on the right place.

I have an odd promlem with corel x5 .

when i am going on the transformation ->potition for example to duplicate an object the value changes on its own. for example.

i select the object and i want to make a duplicate of it at 120 mm Horizontal i just have to put the value 120 to H copies 1 and hit apply right? not in my corel anymore (it used to work ok until now)

when i type 120 it changes by its own to 1.200 (and i notice tha if i don't hit aplly and just click somewhere inside the workarea it changes again to 12.000)

any solutions to this one?

That seems a conflict with your default units. It could be two possible options, one is the use of "scale" on the rules (such as 1mm = 10mm), the other option could be the values of units on your Control Panel, for example the use of dot instead comma as decimal separator. Notice that X5 introduced the use of two decimal values, on older versions you type 120 and it remains as 120, not it change to 120,00 but on some languages or regional settings, if you're using a dot as separator it's 120.00 instead 120,00 and it changes to 120.000 or something similar. Changin the regional settings for units on yor Windows Control panel fix the problem
