How about using the up and down arrows to be able to scroll through past values entered.
Example: you offset something 5'-6 3/16", then offset something 20'-2". Oops, you forgot to offset something else 5'-6 3/16" and now you have to enter that value again. How about being able to arrow up through past entries.

Right now the arrow up and down move the cursor left and right (just like the left and right arrow ). Seems like the up and down are not being utilized at all in this function.

That's a sweet idea :!: Got my vote for sure.

Include mine too, Eric. Great tip. Memory is "all" what our computer has. The good 'doskey' command rides again.

Thanks,
Miguel

I know it is a nice function, Autocad has it. It is very useful to check mistakes.

Great idea.... a real productivity enhancer!
Goes very well with my idea to "exchange x-y"... which means that if you had moved something 5' up, in addition to "invert" you could also select "exchange x-y" (you could also call it "rotate 90 deg") and now you would move it 5' left... or hit it two more times to move it 5' right. Would work with move & stretch. The whole idea being that you dont have to manually enter the distance again, just like your idea.
