Hi Ian, the only way I know of visualizing dimensions so far is by using a special style: https://github.com/faunalia/QGIS-Resources.git
To be able to use it, you have to install the "Resource Sharing"-plugin and then install "Distance Measurement Styles" from there. This is a quite clever but also a bit confusing approach, cause the labels with the numbers are actually no labels in the common sense, but generated as a font markers within the symbology. You will have to play around with them to make them look as you like. It may be good not to use thet style on your original features, but create a separate dimensioning layer (a duplicate of your orginial layer) Cheers, Bernd Am 23.06.22 um 23:33 schrieb IainS via Qgis-user:
Is there a tool for adding dimensions in QGIS. 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.
