Proposal 3dview and mesaruments

I don't know where I could say my idea about a new characteristic for 3dview in blender 2.8 and I have create this task.

One problem about blender has always been the measurements, I think a good improvement for that could be when you do some operation like move, rotation or size , graphically you was be able to see the amount of units you translate, rotate or change the size of an object, for example with a line around the mean axes and one number indicating the amount while you are doing the operation.

Yes, it does need to be more visible. I often forget to look in the notification area and I'm sure there are some who don't even notice it's there. It would be another step toward making Blender a visual artist's tool.

So the notification area isn't enough, in your opinion?

and for the rotation is something similar... you can do it with the numbers, but, graphically you can do the process more fast and visual

The idea is that you have not to calculate difference between different postions... If you can see the amount you desplace something is more easy work with measures without left the mouse

Its a good thought! Might not necessarily be a blender default feature! Can be a good idea for addon!
