The ability to enter a required value ( e.g. line length, circle radius ) as a calculation would be a great time saver.
For instance, to place a point on a line at one third of it's length, the value that is input before setting the point could be entered as ........ That line length /3.
Another would be to enter a known Imperial Dimension plus an appropriate mutiplier or divider to create a Metric Dimension.
Value Entry
Re: Value Entry
I would image that you already know this, but just in case anyone else doesn't here is a little workaround in the meantime:peatle wrote:For instance, to place a point on a line at one third of it's length, the value that is input before setting the point could be entered as ........

1. Choose your line
2. Click on the divide tool - divide in three and create points not line segments
3. Use one of your /3 dividing points to place line
4. Delete unnecessary points - and remember that you can select them easily without selecting your lines by pressing alt while dragging your selection box around the points.
If my explanation isn't clear, see this:
