although a CAD drawing may be drawn to some scale, it is common to
explicitly label lengths (distances) using arrows and extension
lines.<br>

I suspect the OP wants to create dimensional arrows labeling
distances between features on the map, eliminating the need to
measure a scaled distance (say on a printed map), then multiplying
by scale factor, which is almost sure to introduce inaccuracy, as
well as inconvenience.<br>

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.

Distances are or can be in meters, and it is normal to have a scale on
a map. So I don't know if this is about representing length
conceptually or about labels with lengths, or ?
Perhaps a link to what you have and what the specific complaint is would help.
