showing setbacks in more than one place

[SHCanada2]

Typically I dimension the actual setbacks from PL to building, and let the Development authority check to see if it complies

 

But, I've seen a few plans where all of the important information is displayed on the first page in a summary like below.

 

So is there an easy way to get a dimension into a global variable in order to report it? Maybe make a symbol, with some arrows, and use its label to display its width and assign to a global variable? ...although the symbol wont move when I move the wall, so the dimension would not be dynamic, kind of defeating the purpose

 

Ideally need something that acts like a dimension line

 

Anything easier?

It seems that you can do a macro to get a line length, then use a global variable to use that in a text somewhere else.

There doesn't seem to be a way to get dimension data from the actual dimension itself
