Hi @Pompilz you can project the face of the body to a construction plane to generate a sketch as shown in the short great video below

- Then tap on any of the sketch lines to select the line and display the dimension
- Tap on the dimension and then tap on the lock icon on the Numpad to lock-in the dimensions.  
This way you can keep multiple dimensions visible while you take the screenshot.
