    When i place a rectangel in a sketch i can't select the parameters to be directly linked to size.
    I must first enter a number, delete the number and can then through the triangle to the parameter list.
    Is it possible to approach  the parameters directly ?

    Your drawings are only as good as the symbols that complete them...

    Just type in the name of the parameter that you want to set it to.

    When I start a rectangular part, I usually define my parameters in the sketch by typing straight into sketch boxes.

     

    e.g. 'width=100mm" and "length=100mm"

     

    It makes it easier to keep track of parameters in a sketch if you right-click -> Dimension Display -> Expression
