I bet instructor K.K. would also agree that accuracy in spelling a
person's handle would be good too.

nice in blender, but blenders main direction is not for cad use,

That second clause is of course inaccurate.  The definition of CAD is
Computer Aided Design and that definition includes whatever is being
done in Blender.  The only difference is Blender doesn't make the
measurements explicit.  They still must exist behind the scenes to
maintain the relative distances on screen.  So then accuracy for all
users would be served by allowing the distances to be brought to
visibility in the GUI to be edited if the user wishes.  And since so
many variables are already present in such arcane fashion, hiding the
distance variables among them should be virtually invisible to those
who want to ignore them.

The only remaining effort to consider is actually placing dimension
labels on the drawings, which could be an on/off/move option.
