Adobe Illustrator CS5 has a box in the toolbar where you can edit the size of a rectangle by inputting the numbers when a shape is selected. Is this still being used in CS6?

That's called the Control panel according to Adobe. Yours has probably been hidden by mistake.

In the menu bar, select Window and then ensure there is a check mark beside Control in the drop down. If there isn't, select it and the Control panel should then display.

Also, note that the dimensions boxes are context sensitive, so they don't show all the time. They only show when appropriate tools are selected.

AI CS6 has the same boxes in the toolbar (see pink arrows below). You must have a different workspace arrangement, otherwise you should see these with the default workspace.



Or for smaller laptop screens, which will display a compacted view, you should look for the TRANSFORM link:
