Equality tool available when using temporary dimensions

Equality tool available when using temporary dimensions

Purpose

Reduce the number of steps to centre an object by making the "equality tool" available with temporary dimensions, this would save five to six steps

 

This would work well with openings when the current temporary dimension properties are set to centerlines for doors and windows.  I would like this setting to work with other objects as well such as columns etc.

 

Examples of what we currently have.

The equality tool is available when the opening is centred but is missing when the opening is not.

Equality tool is missing when the opening is not centred, this is when we need it to centre the object.

When inserting doors for example the only way to insert the door in the middle of two walls is to draw two dimensions from the midpoint of the door and hit the EQ symbol.

Why can't the EQ symbol work for temporary dimensions, so that I don't have to keep drawings then deleting dimensions.
