Display dimensions next to cursor when drawing
while drawing shapes it would be helpful to see the dimensions in close proximity to the shape being drawn

When we draw a rectangle or any other object it's nice to have live width and height. And an option for enabling and disable it by preference or something like that. it's also great to have this live width height feature when we move the item around.

@Corey Lucier Indeed, width and height are updating in the property when you are drawing but in my opinion it's not enough for fast productivity.
It takes a lot of time and it's tiring to look first at your shape then at your properties when you have to do this thousands of times. Also it cut you in the action of create multiple shapes in a row.
That's why a little tooltip to show contextual dimensions like in Illustrator can help a lot and let focus designer on drawing shapes actions. -

The width and height in the property inspector should be updating as you draw...not the case?
