Bug Description

It would be good if basic math is allowed in the W/H and X/Y input boxes.
E.g. to move an object by d mm, i can select the object, select the X input box and then just append "+d" to the existing X value.
It would be fantastic if it could support units as well, but I have no idea about implemenation feasibility.
