Can I redefine the width of already drawed rectangle not via dragging corners?

Can I redefine the width of already drawed rectangle not via dragging corners?

Anonymous
Not applicable

I wish redefine width exactly via dragging+redefining the center of edge, not via dragging+redefining two corners, because dragging two corners is too long compare to way I wish. See:

 

that way is too long

way I wish:

1. I am starting to drag right edge (I chose it as a moveable-point)

2.

3. what I wish in the result

P.S. sometimes I somehow locked the left edge as a perpendicular and I was able to specify wished distance and it worked as I wished on picture 3, but I can't see law in that "somehow", so I can't reproduce it:

Hi,

 

you can do that using the default tracking functionality.

The only trick might be to do a bit of zoom after you selected the right mid-point to unmark the trackpoint from the right position ==> then show the left midpoint (just touch, don't click) ==> now this point is the base of your measurement.

 

The video shows the same with disabled and enabled dynamic input.
