'Unexpected Token' Error

Question

Hello Good GC Community, 
 
 I'm doing an Architecture project using GC, so and I was very excited until I got this misterious 'Unexpected Token' error, that comes with a lot of ther bad smptons, specially at the Graph. 
 
 when I plae points via the ribbon, the graph places the nodes very far away between each other. 
 
 Does anyone knows what can this be? 
 
 Regards

Hello Volker, 
 I figured it out :D !!! 
 What was happening is that Windows for the decimals was using the coma character "," and GC didn't liked that, because for GC the decimals were with a point character "." 
 I fixed that on the windows settings and now is working properly. 
 The question is, can I set GC to use the coma character "," for the decimals?

Hello, 
 What error do you encounter, e.g. "Unexpected token: ," (last character in the quote is a comma). 
 What Windows OS version are you using? Is that a specific language version, e.g. German, Swedish? 
 Usually, in the UK, the regional settings should not pose a problem, perhaps I believe the default in the UK is the decimal point and the comma as digit grouping symbol. Please note that this is not related to the dataset. It is related to your operating system settings for number formats. 
 These settings are in Settings > Time & language (Speech, region, date) > Additional date, time & regional settings > Region (Change location | Change date, time, or number formats) > Additional settings... > Decimal symbol: and Digit grouping symbol: settings. 
 For GC, decimal symbol must be the period '.', and the digit grouping symbol must be the comma ','. 
 This is expected to be fixed in the next update (Update 3). 
 I hope this solves your problem. 
 Regards, 
 Volker

Hi AECOsim guy, 
 This is referring to the decimal separator - Control Panel > Region > Additional Settings (Win 8.1). Some countries use the comma (,) as a Decimal Symbol and the period (.) as the List Separator, so if you reverse those it should resolve the issue. As Volker said this shouldn't be happening so would be a defect to be resolved in a future release.

Here is an additional setting to check: directly in "Region und Sprache" switch "Land oder Region" to "Vereinigte Staaten". This may force a reboot. Try placing a Point node in ABD with GC again. Check whether the "Unexpected Token" error is still occurring. If not, it seems to be OK to switch "Land oder Region" back to "Vereinigtes K&ouml;nigreich" or "Deutschland". If that works, then my semi-educated guess would be that this change forces the operating system to download resources that GC implicitly uses when converting number formats and which default to some unexpected settings if the "Vereinigte Staaten" contents haven't been downloaded. 
 Please give that a try. 
 Thank you, 
 Volker
