    hi,
    I can't resize a rectangle by entering his new dimensions separated by a ';'
    I cannot enter with a cursor in this zone at the bottom right corner of the screen and I don't know why 😳

    Any idea ?

      First of all, you don't click in the Measurements box before entering the values. If the box is available for entry, its background will be white and you simply start typing. Hit Enter to set the dimensions.

      So to draw a rectangle, get the Rectangle tool, click and release to set the first point and then drag out in the desired direction. Let go of the mouse and type the dimensions. If the units are already set to inches, type the dimensions as x,y and hit Enter.

      Second, you can only resize the rectangle using the Measurements box if you have not started another rectangle or picked another tool. You can type a new dimension and hit Enter as many times as you like as long as you don't start something new. After that, to resize the rectangle, you'll need to use a different tool. Move or Scale can both handle resizing the rectangle.
