rectangular dimensions

Hi Michael ...

I consistently have a problem entering numeric dimensions for 3 point rectangles.

I'll try to explain ...

First I enter the 3 point rectangle command from the UI and then type in the width and press enter .. ok so far
and the mouse will indicate that the height is perpendicular to the width and show a number which changes with the movement of the mouse but if I type in a number then it changes the width dimension not the height ...
I have to select the height box with my mouse and then I get the keypad ... I can then use it or type in a number but it feels to me that once the width has set and the box for height is active then I should be able to type in the height without selecting that box with the mouse first.

It feel like an extra motion to have to bring the keypad up first.

Am I missing something here? In my architecture work I use this 3 point rectangle a lot and it seems counter intuitive.

thanks,
eric
