Dimension line assistance

Any clever methods for creating dimention lines?
I can create a line type and connect it but I’d like the length to appear in it.

I’m pretty surprised this isn’t already somewhere that can be found via searches. :(

Thanks in advance.

Add the <%Length%> variable as a line label. You can see all of the variables under Edit>Insert Variable. They are also listed in OmniGraffle Help.

Thanks for the pointer, I missed it in the help file.

Time for some more reading. (How to affix a line label.)
