Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libreoffice

The Draw "Lines and Arrows", "Dimension Lines" does not allow number
format codes to be applied against the text.

When changing units of measurement under Tools/Options/LibreOffice
Draw/General to Inches, the text formatting automatically applies
Engineering Scale and does not make available Architectural Scale.

Under help, the following information is provided in a table for examples.
Number Format Codes 
5.75 as 5 3/4 and 6.3 as 6 3/10   # ???/???

This is available in Calc as a Format on the Numbers Tab.

When right clicking on Dimension Line, under the selection "Dimensions..." it 
would be nice if another tab were added allowing more than one style of unit 
and the variations of those units.
That is, click on 'mm' for 'millimeters' and click on "inches" and then 
"Architectural" for fractional notation.
The dimension would display "31.75mm [1 1/4"]
