"Please Enter a Number" when Modifying Text

Issue:

Sometimes when attempting to modify the layer or color of text an error box appears after selecting the text, saying "please enter a number".
This happens with either the _ENTPROP or _DDEDIT command.

Solution:

Some variables in the drawing file which control label precision have been changed and will cause this message when they are set too high.

In the command line, type:
luprec

And set it to 4
New current value for LUPREC (0 to 8) <8>: 4

then type:
auprec

And set it to 4
New current value for AUPREC (0 to 8) <8>: 4

This is a drawing setting, so may need to be changed for more than one drawing.  To make the change permanent save it as part of your template.
