I suspect the OP wants to create dimensional arrows labeling distances between features on the map, eliminating the need to measure a scaled distance (say on a printed map), then multiplying by scale factor, which is almost sure to introduce inaccuracy, as well as inconvenience.

For those who are wondering what I am talking about, it is common in CAD drafting to add dimensions to what you have drawn and this is a whole part of a CAD program where you can format dimensions .etc. I have been asked to add dimensions to an archaeological hole I am digging on a QGIS map and I was wondering whether there is a similar dimensioning tool in QGIS.Can you explain what you mean without saying "like CAD"? Distances are or can be in meters, and it is normal to have a scale on a map. So I don't know if this is about representing length conceptually or about labels with lengths, or ? Perhaps a link to what you have and what the specific complaint is would help.
