Dimension line for testing

Neither 'Position and Size' nor 'Dimensions' dialog allow to determine the
exact position of the two defining points of a measure line.

I work in Draw with unit 'mm'.

Open attached document and select the dimension line. It should show 28mm.
You decide, that you need 28.5mm: Open 'Position&Size' dialog and set width to
28.5mm. The dimension line should show 28.5mm now. The horizontal position
should still be 30.0mm. OK. 

You decide, that you was wrong but need 28.4mm: Open 'Position&Size' dialog.
Look at the width field. It does no longer show 28.5mm and the horizontal
position has changed too. You are lost. It is not possible to set the dimension
line to show 28.4mm and have left position of the measure point at 30.0mm.

There exist workarounds, but a simple way to determine exact position and size
of a dimension line corresponding to the two measure points is missing in the
UI.
