Numerical input of the value of the dimension line
A tool like dimension line is working very insufficient. It would be pleasant a lot just to put the numerical value of the length of the line in appropriate setting menu and remember it there (fix). It’s very hard work to set the needed (exact) value of the line length. But most bad thing is happening when you’re trying to rotate somehow the dimension line. By doing this, all the values are lost once. And you have to start all over again.

It's already possible. As indicated in the help, press the <enter> key then type the length / angle you want.

Re: Numerical input of the value of the dimension line
Hello. A problem took place from unexpected side. Why is the number of the size tool only a multiple of 10 now? I can't set for example 1287 When its happend? All old previous plans are correctly showing value meaning of a line, but now dont. Tell me, please, where the solution lies. thanx.
