<p>Hi Ian,</p>
<p>the only way I know of visualizing dimensions so far is by using
a special style: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/faunalia/QGIS-Resources.git">https://github.com/faunalia/QGIS-Resources.git</a></p>
<p>To be able to use it, you have to install the "Resource
Sharing"-plugin and then install "Distance Measurement Styles"
from there.</p>
<p>This is a quite clever but also a bit confusing approach, cause
the labels with the numbers are actually no labels in the common
sense, but generated as a font markers within the symbology.<br>
You will have to play around with them to make them look as you
like.<br>
It may be good not to use thet style on your original features,
but create a separate dimensioning layer (a duplicate of your
orginial layer)<br>
</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Is there a tool for adding dimensions in
QGIS. For those who are wondering 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.<o:p></o:p></p>
