currently(2.2.1.1), you may double click on any entity to modify the properties.

Particular for dimensions, if I got your comment correctly, to display the dimension value larger by 1, {<> + 1}:

You can even display by a functional value, say square of the dimension by using {<>*<>}

Hi

I am new to librecad and i keep having a problem with entering the correct number for line length, i keep having the 1 added to what i want to input, i think it would improve the flow if when you clicked on the box/field that the numbers in it where auto highlighted so that you can just type in what you want without having to select it first, which i keep mucking up.

Apologies if this already exists in a setting that i couldn't find.

Thanks for any help that you can provide.
