The ability to set a line length, no matter what angle the line is on.
It would be great if there was a section in the transform panel where you could enter a length for a line (instead of setting a height and width for the bounding box).
This way it would not matter what angle the line was draw at, it could be set to a specific length.
I've currently been drawing a vertical line, setting a height and then rotating to the correct angle but it is very tedious!

I made this request:
Allow to choose a reference point (pivot / origin) for live shapes

But I must admit that it allows changing its width from the middle only. I’d vote for having an ability to choose an end to scale it from :) Also, I think that an ability to change the length of a straight segment of a path can be interesting, right in the middle. But this feels more specific.

What version are you using, mate?
A 'Line' primitive is a thing already, see the image.
