Hi

Total novice here, I cant seem to change the dimensions for any object.  I am using Chrome.  Values do not change in selected and i start typing.
Thanks
Tim

Maybe you should view some videos in the learning center https://learn.onshape.com/

The box down at the bottom does not allow you to edit dimensions. However, you can open up the original sketch you made for your feature and edit dimensions there. You can also open up other features like extrusions and evolves and edit those as well. Double click on items in the feature tree (the list on the left-hand side of the screen) to open and edit them.

That is the measurement tool. To edit a dimension you need to edit the sketch that created the extrude. It is advisable that you visit learn.onshape.com to review the self-paced video training.

Video or screenshot would be good. Are you using Linux?

I am using windows 10.  I have attached a file for a better view. I read that you can change the dimension in the "dialog box" at the bottom.  When i click on it it the amount of decimal points changes but I am not able to edit it.
