[Draft]How to build a line/point at a certain distance from another line?

For example, I need to draw a line inside a square at a distance of 2.5 mm from its bottom:

My current workflow:

1. I draw a line over the bottom of the square

2. Move the line 2.5mm along the axis Y

Is there a way to initially build a line relative to another?

p.s. Sorry for my English

For such tasks the Sketcher comes immediately to mind, but before definitely recommending this: can you tell us more about your final goal?

Just in Sketcher, I drew such a plan:

But it is very tiring to satisfy the solver.
It would be much more productive to have this in the Draft/Arch:

A slight hold above a line or point creates a snap point for distance or angle.
