Add Object (primitive) by dimensions with semicolon (x ; y; z) as D:[1.00; 2.0; 3.0]

Regarding feature request Make Add Object tool behave according to common sense user expectation we can se how problematic is creation of primitves. Want suggest behavio where:

1 - Put point on face, edge, vertive for Cube, Cone, ect. in next step can be created by numbers with semicolon (x ; y; z), eg. 1.25; 2.45; 3.67

  • each semicolon starting new axe value, can be only 3 semicolons
  • if no semicolons then main axe
  • if mistake, can be deleted value and starting again (including ctr+z/ctr+shift+z)

2 - This working in limited way for edit mode when extruding, but alwas one direction as one value (coz no semicolon to separate values)

  • it's required to ommind Dx Dy Dz maybe or autofill after semicolon is typed
  • right now we have extrude and do this by numbers byt only one axe
  • exist problem with positive and negative value (should be resolved by mose - eg. if mouse indicator on positive then values from nubmers are positive, eg if mouse indicator on negative in relation to origin then negative - to prevent not typing always minus)
  • by implementing this from point 1 then like on image is possible to moving face in 3axes

It's related with Input values from numerical keybord for vectors

Why edit object if we can create this in properly way?

No negative arguments..

testure

it's a bit ironic that the other proposal was complaining about a lack of intuitiveness, and your proposal is basically to make a command line interpreter for primitives- which is the opposite of intuitive.

* @testure * The CMDL exist, just not full fill the needs. And on link is about get point for primitives, my is about controlig extrude, moving, etc by numeric. No opossitive, just optimalisation of funtionality. On sketchup this working very well.
