In a past life I used a CAD program to draw and dimension products. This is probably an overkill for your application.

The only way I can think of is by using Photoshop or Illustrator to add the lines and the dimension(s).

Incidentally, this is not a Dreamweaver question, but since you were unwillingly sent here, I felt compelled to reply.

Your question has been moved to the Dreamweaver forum, but in order to help better it would be necessary to know if the images are to be used for the web and if you wish the image and the dimensions to be to scale or not.

You can include an image to scale on the web, but there is a very big limitation and that is screen size, as it is obviously impossible to display a 5 inch wide image on a 3 inch wide display.

So I was wondering if there is a special tool that I can use to add the measurement marks (measure from one point to another) and then add a measure (for example, "60mm") in between. For some reasons I assumed that this would be a common task to do
