I absolutely understand the difference between a line and a box.

However, what I am saying is this:

1.) View the first attached screenshot. After drawing the line. I have a start (red) and an end (green) with with 4 midpoints. This I have understood completely from the beginning. I understand the ideas behind drawing the lines.

2.) The properties show a X and Y cord (where on the sheet it is placed) and width and height (the total size of the area that the line encompasses). You can see this in the second screenshot. If you modify the width of the object, it changes the area of that the line takes.

3.) What I am looking for is the ability to set the length of a part of the line to an accurate length. Lets say I want the end (red) to the first mid-point (upper right hand corner) to be .25 inches. I cannot do that. I cannot even find a way to see the length of the line when I am creating it. If I could see each of these, there wouldn't be much of a problem.

Or, am I just completely missing a certain window that shows this data?
