Is there a way to access and edit object properties directly with the keyboard + displaying them at all times ?

Hello Michael, thank you for another quick reply as always.
This command does the job perfectly - will be testing it out asap.

Regarding the display of dimensions : Well, setting aside wether or not it would be in the spirit of the design of the application to do so ... I sure believe that being able to instantly see this information would be useful :) Perhaps not as something to display 100% of the time as it would indeed be visually cluttered, but moreso something to be used as a design review tool.

Maybe there are other ways to display similar information ? Wouldn't it be possible, for instance, to batch generate Aligned dimensions for all selected lines/polylines ? Resulting in something like this :



Best,
P.O.

Yes, that's possible, I've attached a script that will do that.

Well, this is excellent ! Thanks again for such a quick answer and solution. Even in such a "barebones" state I find it very helpful.

FWIW I've found myself quickly generating these Dims to check various dimensions, and then deleting them right after to clear things up again - rince and repeat. Of course in theory I could do the same just by selecting a given object and looking in the corner of the UI to see the dimensions, but the ability to run it on many objects at once is absolutely a time saver.

I could probably imagine a few things to make the process even more fluid (like automatically moving the resulting dims away from the measured line) but then this would be getting into feature creep territory. If anything this is a good excuse for me to look into MOI scripting.

Thanks again for the help !
