1 ) You can edit length, height, width and position (x,y,z coordinates) of any object or grouped objects in the "object info window" (if this window isn´t visible in the workspace go to the "layout" tab ant select "show objecjt info")
2 ) The reason you´re not getting the desired length when dragging may be that you´re woking with the snap grid on (> layout > snap grid), which IS useful for getting the desired dimmension but you may need to change the "snap grid spacing" (> layout > preferences > dimensions > snap grid spacing) to suit your needs.
Hope that helps,
Petur
