i don't know what button to use in whatever toolbars load by default, you should learn to use the command line anyway.

i get the idea that this is a quick temporary means to an end.

to that i'd say just look for the dimensioning toolbar... learning the command line will be futile unless you plan on using it to be productive for a job/school
