Jilly Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 This is how it works in Adobe Illustrator, and it is easier to explain with examples: If we have a shape tool selected and click (not click and drag) an empty area on the artboard or simply press ↩, we get a dialog. It allows us to input values for width and height. After we do, the shape gets created with those values. If we have a shape (or group) selected, are using the move tool, and press ↩, we get a dialog. It allows us to input values to move our selected elements. Other tools might have other dialogs and interactions, but that is the gist: press ↩ and/or click an empty area, get a dialog that allows fine control over your action, instead of having to use the (imprecise) mouse cursor.
