Scaling with Metric in Edit Mode
So when we scale of an object in edit mode, it only show the XYZ scale of the object compared to before size. But I need exact metric/imperial size. As we have put the unit on metric, there should shown the metric XYZ of the object when scaling. So, like scale while measure at the same time with metric system( any exact real world measurement).
These feature is important as i believe, it can make blender can make architectual design/CAD design. I hope for these feature to come out for so long already as i can't use Blender as intended, if there is no exact measurement and i hope blender have that as it's free. Thanks...

There's an error in your premise. If you scale the the object, you scale it in object mode, in this case you can see the object's transforms to know the current scale. If you are in edit mode, you can't actually scale the object, you basically move all the verteices; in this case you can see each vertex's position (in the N-panel, under transform, while in edit mode), or you can see the object's dimensions (bounding box) in the N-panel, under transform. Or you can measure what you want with measure tool (both in edit and object mode). Please explain what you actually want to know I may help you. I use CAD program for 15 years too.
ahh okay thanks for the enlightment. So maybe blender add vertices to plane as reference and use last vertices/selected vertices as reference point. so we don't need to edit the vertices XYZ 1 by 1. Would make it easier.
but still, for example we need to scale some selected vertices that is part making the object. And we need an exact scaling size in that matter, we can't go to object mode to scale.
I'm not sure I got it yet. Maybe you want to use the "B" option during a transformation. If you are scaling, make sure you're using the right pivot and press B, then you choose the base point then the destination point (reference point)
