Draw a measure line in Writer or copy one from Draw. Try to alter dimension properties like guide overhang, guide distance, dimension line placement. That is not possible, because the Dimension dialog does not exists in Writer. In Draw you get the dialog in the graphic style or as direct formatting in the context menu. In Draw it is the command .uno:MeasureAttributes. Because of unwanted changes in unit and size, when copying from Draw to Writer, the dialog is sorely needed.
Maxim Monastirsky committed a patch related to this issue. It has been pushed to "master": http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=2ac9cb17de765cdc5c358059c6256a3e168203ac tdf#119236 Dimension dialog for Writer and Calc It will be available in 6.2.0. The patch should be included in the daily builds available at http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ in the next 24-48 hours. More information about daily builds can be found at: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Testing_Daily_Builds Affected users are encouraged to test the fix and report feedback.
Andreas: .uno:MeasureAttributes is now available in Writer and Calc, so you can add it to the menu/context menu like you wanted.

It has nothing to do with this bug. Please report it in a separate bug.
