As soon as a pick settles the dimension (one line, circle or arc, or the second point or line of a distance or angle), its value box takes the keyboard with the measured value selected. The text follows the cursor while typing and Enter places it there (or in its default place), as one undo step. A click before typing pins the text and keeps the box focused, a click on another entity makes a distance or angle, Tab hands back to placing first, Esc cancels. Letters go into the box, not to tool shortcuts.

Sketch Dimension refused a dimension the sketch couldn't take, with
"that dimension would over-constrain the sketch; add it as a driven
(reference) dimension with driven: true", which the tool gave no way to
do. It now places it as a driven dimension instead: while placing, the
preview shows it in parentheses in the driven colour, and the click adds
it at once (it has no parameter and no value to edit), with a status line
saying why. Other refusals, such as an unsupported pick, are reported as
before, since the driven dimension is refused too.

Between two points, or on a line, that don't line up with an axis, the
Sketch Dimension tool only offered the distance between them: an auto
dimension ignored where its text went. Now the placement picks what it
measures: across from the two (between the perpendiculars through them)
the distance between them, as before; past that, above or below them the
horizontal distance, beside them the vertical one. With no text, an
explicit type, or two ends already on an axis, nothing changes.
The tool previews the dimension from the cursor, so the choice follows
the pointer while placing it.

* Honor design units in sketch dimensions and measurements
* fix: apply document units to specialized length controls
* Accept explicit units in length fields; document design-unit dimension values
Length fields in a design-unit control now evaluate what is typed as a
length expression: a bare number stays in the design's units, while an
explicit unit ("10 mm", "0.5 in", "1 in + 5 mm") is converted.
Document that a bare numeric sketch.dimension value from scripts, the
control channel or MCP is read in the design's units.
