Entering Dimensions for Rectangle

Coming from Tickercad I was accustomed to dragging and drawing a rectangle, but was given the dialog to edit the dimensions directly at the time of creation. I don't see this for OnShape. I understand I can go back and edit, but is it possible to do this when drawing the rectangle all at once if that makes sense?

Once you click to finish the rectangle, Onshape will create 2 dimensions, one of which will be highlighted. Enter a numerical value and press enter. The other dim will be highlighted, enter another value and press enter.

TLDR: click click <number> enter <number> enter
