Hi Alex,

Best way is as Michael has mentioned however, you can also save measurements. This is a "quick and dirty" method of creating measurements without having to set up text and dimension styles however not as customizable.

Thanks for the help guys, I should have been more clear with my question. Its not really drafting dimensions I'm looking for, TBC does a great job of this. its giving things physical dimensions. in Autodesk products I have the ability to create a rectangle or square with X and Y dimensions very quickly, or a line that is a specific length, or maybe a line a given angle off another. so far I cannot figure out how to do this quickly. You can struggle through some of in with line-string commands but nothing is very easy. hope that makes sense. 

Thanks again!

Alex, you should be able to right click while creating the linestring for the next point on the line

Thank you Erik! The Delta X and Y helps a whole bunch, I had no idea that existed
