Settings that need faster access

[gawdzira]

Here is a speed issue in my workflow which would be solved by some of the earlier suggestions regarding properties accessibility.

When I select something and bring up the dbx I no longer see the object as selected. Call me stupid by sometimes I need to still be able to see what I just selected.

If I had my properties (such as length for a cad line) on the surface, I could select my cad line (which is often a measuring tool) and adjust it's length numerically and see the results without closing the dbx and then reopening the dbx to tweak it again.
