Hi, thanks for the feedback, finaly the option I select is:

*create a base line with custom or not markers and desired
size/color/dashed
*copy it to the clipboard
*Create a "Mark dimension" line, the line become seleced at press
button
* make a Ctrl+Shift+V to paste clipboard style

Also I add in last commit a taked idea from the next video from mine in
the youtube video. The option is a scale option to for "example"
measure real map aerial photos.

All the best, Jabier.
