Dimensioning
Is there a way to get dimensions to "stick" to objects?
For example, I have two walls that are 10' apart, as shown by a dimension line.
I want them to be 9' apart, but if I drag a wall, the dimension line doesn't change.
Is there a way to have dynamic dimensions that change as you drag an object? I thought I saw this behavior at one time, but I can't reproduce it.

For that matter, whenever I want to move an object, say in the x or y dimension, is there a way to specify how far to move it other than to invoke the Modify box and type in the x or y coordinates of the location (for furniture) or start and end points (for a wall)? When dragging an object, it would be nice if there was a dynamic display of the current location relative to the original location.

Sorry, it's not possible.

Relative moves are not possible too.
