Try LibreOffice Draw and see if that offers what you need ...

• Dimension lines 2
• Dimension lines 3

Thanks again for your time @v_kyr  I have a copy of CorelDraw2018  happy & comfortable with it and scale/dimensions are wonderful, would just like to see these items in designer.

Thanks for the reply @v_kyr   I don't want all that cad stuff,  simple floor plans, garden plans and simple components will do me, draw to scale & print - I will be a happy boy.

In the same boat,  use Corel for scale drawing, just acquired Designer and would very much like to see/be able to draw to scale.
