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 styling, the dimensions will look exactly the same as in autocad. A tip is to use different layers in autocad as it's easier to apply styles in qgis afterwards.
Hope this helps, Alexandru On Fri, Jun 24, 2022, 23:20 Nicolas Cadieux via Qgis-user < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi Chris, > > Dimensions here are not annotations.
