Summary0001677: Draft dimensions: automatic extension line lengths
DescriptionWhen adding a draft dimension, the extension lines are always only as long as specified in the preferences. IMHO a good extra option would be to extend the lines automatically up to the point to which they refer.

You just need to set the lenght to zero IIRC

Yes, that works. Would be cool to have that info in the preferences dialog somehow, maybe a checkbox "Auto length", which enables the length setting when unchecked?

To have Auto Length you can just set 0.0 to extension size in the preferences ?

It could be cool to add a check-box to choose if the extension line size is calculate from the dimension object or the dimensioned object.

Example : the dimension line is placed 50 mm from the dimensioned line.
I set the extension size to 20 mm.
If the check-box is checked the extension size is 50-20 = 30 mm.
