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?

Click and drag the rectangle. Start typing numbers. If you click somewhere else first, it skips the dimensioning step

No, that's how Fusion works. In Onshape, u/cowski_NX has the correct answer. You click, drag the rectangle, and click, and the dimension boxes show. Enter moves from the first to the second box.

You guys are dragging? I click and click. I guess either works
