How to measure distance accurately in PCB?
All my electronic components have positional constraints and I need a accurate way to place them on PCB.

If your actual requirement is to accurately place components, the
easiest way is to use to command line, for example:
move SW1 (1.005 2.100);
This allows placement with full precision independently of the current grid.

or use the info dialog to manipulate the position after placement

Firstly thank you for your answer,
If I use the command line like you exemple, the components in my library should have the right "0-coordinate" in the center of it. Isn't it?
Because I am not sure of the center definition of all my components

Because I am not sure of the center definition of all my components
then you will to have to verify the package in the library editor.
In the board editor right-click on a part and select "open package".
Now you can verify the coordinates of the pads using the info command.
