I have tried this and maybe it is a wish list item but I thought I would post here first to see if anybody has come up with something like this.

I need a smart pline or a smart space tool. I want to be able to give it a square footage number that locks in so that if I move one grip the square footage will remain a constant. Am I asking too much?

Am I asking too much?I actually have this on the wish list. It may not have been approved yet, but I think I have seen this request come in.

Note I say I think because these wishes tend to run together in my mind sometimes :)

Thanks Brenda,
I may do a search tomorrow to see if it is there.

The new Area option for the Rectangle command comes pretty close to what you're asking for. Works with Chamfer or Fillet option as well.
