I'm looking for a way to streamline my workflow. I have multiple objects that need to be resized to different exact dimensions, I select the object and then move the cursor to highlight the dimension selection on the property box, input the dimensions, then repeat. is there a way to set a hotkey or macro to select the box so I don't have to move the cursor to highlight it every time?
Depending on exactly what you need to do, you might consider macros. This is one I wrote that is pretty good at resizing things:
#21: Macro - "Adjust Objects; Retain Positions" (AORP).
