1. Is is possible to set dimensions on certain lines, and then change value in dimension (from 2mm to 3mm), so taht line expands to 3mm
No, this is not directly possible. Our dimension object has two point properties where in the property you can only change one the points but not its length.
2. Is there support for angles in dimensions, and can it also be made so I input an angle in degrees, and the angle automatically changes
This is not available at the moment. But feel free two add (two) feature requests on our Mantis page https://sourceforge.net/apps/mantisbt/f ... n_page.php

Great! I can add those features to the Draft dimensions, so I'll assign those 2 feature requests to myself.
Werner & Jürgen, if you prefer to add it to the generic dimensionning tool of the freecad view menu or to the sketcher, please re-assign to you
