Summary: Have an Auto-dimension option in the sketch mode. As you are sketching lies, rectangles, circles, etc. the dim would be created on the fly
Description: Sketching commands that auto dimension. When drawing a rectangle, line or any other shape element that a dimension is automatically placed with an option to input values immediately or at a later stage.
How Used: I would like to see a command in the sketch panel that as a fly out under the rectangle command for example is a rectangle with 2 automatic dimension placed. You draw the 2 points for the rectangle and 2 dimensions are placed on the horizontal and vertical lines, these can be promted for immeddaite value input with a right click option to turn it off. Your typical work flow is to draw a rectangle and then place dimensions. This would speed up the sketching environment.
