**The problem:** Currently if you are zoomed into an object, and you want to adjust the object or move it by a certain measurement and it’s larger than your zoomed area, you have to select the object and then zoom out to see its properties. It’s tedious.

**The Solution:** Show measurement boxes in the active screen viewing area.

**The Result:** You should be able to adjust measurements, move, rotate, etc. an object, without having to move around your viewing area.
