Converting 'Plain' Lines to 'Dimention tool" Lines

Is there a way to convert a line created with the ‘Line Tool’ to one which shows it’s dimensions? It would seem logically to be a checkbox in the Geometry sub-palette, but.. it isn’t..

Hi Jim. That would be a nice one to have. I have to use Inkscape for that.

Here’s a script to do that:

tell application “Intaglio” to set dimension of every path in the selection to true
