Description Regina Henschel 2018-08-12 22:36:09 UTC
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.

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.

I think this is covered by
