To the extent that anyone is interested in a discussion of adding CAD-like dimensioning capabilities to Qgis: In a CAD model dimensional callouts present the user with information about lengths, angles, radii, and other metric properties. Dimension call-outs  in a

Hi, A workaround I use I in my work is to actually use autocad for drawing the dimensions (or anything else) and then import a dxf file in qgis, either as shapes or as a vector layer. What I do is export a polygon in dxf, draw the dimensions in autocad and import it back into qgis. With a little

Hi Chris, Dimensions here are not annotations.  I believe the original post was referring to what AutoCad refers to as "Extrude" as seen here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdysbeHHXo8. Cheer! Nicolas On 2022-06-24 3:18 p.m., chris hermansen wrote: Nicolas, everyone, Sorry to top post

Nicolas, everyone, Sorry to top post here but I'm not sure where to start below. What about just using the various drawing tools on the print layout? Arrows can be added, annotation, polylines, that sort of thing? Of course it's not in the original data / layers, but is that important? On Fri,

Hi, Qgis is not a CAD as you are discovering. Others have given you good plugins and tools so I will not add to that. You can still do “3D” as 3D objects like lines, points and polygon are supported. You can use the 3D map windows to visualize the 3D objects and a DEM raster or mesh

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

although a CAD drawing may be drawn to some scale, it is common to explicitly label lengths (distances) using arrows and extension lines. I suspect the OP wants to create dimensional arrows labeling distances between features on the map, eliminating the
