Here's one technique that might be satisfactory: Essentially use the Move
Shapes add-on to precisely duplicated guide points, then dimension them
using dimension line shapes.
1. Start the "Move Shapes" Add-on: Tools > Add-ons > Visio Extras
2. Drag out a guide point (when the rulers are visible, drag from the
upper-left corner of the rulers onto the page.
3. Use the move add-on to precisely move/duplicate the guide points
according to your property description
4. Open the stencil: File > Shapes > Visio Extras > Dimensioning
Architectural.
5. Drag dimension lines on to the page and snap them to the guide points.
