Hello,

I want to add 1.5 cm to line A-B but I would like to do so by adding +1.5 in the line length window (in this case, the line is extended and it moves). I would like to block point A so that the line grows towards C by 1.5cm. How to do?

Direct select point B only.

In the Transform panel type  -1.5 after the X value and hit return.
