[Qgis-user] Polygon Dimensioning in QGIS

[Kirk Schmidt]

One way to work around the issue is to generate a new line layer 
digitized at the position that you want the finished dimension to show 
up on your graphic or map.  Add a length attribute to the completed 
linse and calculate the length in trhe units of your choice.  This is 
not ideal for a large number of polygons but does work.
