I always thought a nice touch would be to have a pop-up dialog displayed on left-click release where one could key in the length and width of a shape right then and there on the canvas. This would be a feature that you could turn off in the preferences if desired and would also retain the same dimensions as the last drawn shape size for quick duplication. But since I cannot code for crap I am left with only a dream. :)

Select the object and choose from the menu Object->Transform...

Click on the Scale tab and select the measurement units. Set the measurements to those you want and click Apply.
