Step 4: Confirm Changes

Once you have modified the dimensions as desired, click outside of the object or press the Enter key on your keyboard to confirm the changes. The dimensions of your object will be updated accordingly.

Step 5: Fine-tuning Dimensions

If you need to make further adjustments to the dimensions, you can repeat Steps 2 to 4. The Dimensions tool will remain active until you select a different tool from the toolbar.

Note:

If you want to delete a dimension: Select the dimension by clicking on it and press the Delete or Backspace key on your keyboard.
