How to match properties?

Like ACAD, is there any option to "match properties"? I'm trying to match all dimensions including text spacing, color, etc, in Draft or Arch workbench. Thanks.

Keyboard input to draw line in Draft mode

Whenever I use keyboard to input value for Global X, Y or Z to draw a line, if mouse gets moved, the input values get changed. This is utterly frustrating :twisted: . Is there any elegant way of doing this?

Thanks a lot!
