DimJogLine equiv in DraftSight?

DimJogLine equiv in DraftSight?

DimJogLine equiv in DraftSight?

(OP)
I primarily use AutoCad LT, but would like to eventually move over to DraftSight since most of our needs would be met by that program. However I am running into a feature or two that it seems to be lacking.

One is the need to represent a very long item (cable, harnesses) with what is referrered to in AutoCAD as a "dimjogline" that shows the dimension as being longer than represented by the general scale of the drawing.

I can supply a sample later if anyone doesn't know what that command produces.

Anyway to do this in DraftSight?
