Dimensional transform for splines, edges, verts, etc

Dimensional transform for splines, edges, verts, etc

Much like blender and sketchup, it would be nice to be able to enter exact dimensions or relating commands after a transform action.  For example, if i move a face of an object in the x axis, I would like to be able to enter an exact dimension after the fact, instead of relying on snapping.  So typing in 5 after moving an object would move it exactly 5 units in the direction we moved it.  Likewise, if we moved an object 5 units (inches, feet, etc) and typed in x3, it would make 3 copies of that object each spaced 5 units apart.    Typing in /5 would make 5 copies of that unit  equally spaced within those 5 units (so 5 units 1 space apart).  

 

I use that all the time in sketchup and it seems like such a simple thing but is a very helpful workflow improvement.
