Is there any setting to enable for lines? I didn't find yet.
Which lines? If I remember correctly, after locking on you target (spacebar in periscope view) and recognizing the ship, you must align the horizontal scope centerline with ship's waterline. At this point you can activate the stadimeter and drag the mouse until the waterline of the "ghost" image reaches the topmost point of ship's highest mast. That is easier done than said; look at the below image for a visula example :

In many ways.

For a start, you can use the "Range - Angle Of Bow Finder" (RAOBF) also featured in TDW's and in Dr. Jones UI mods. Refer for its usage to the readme included in New UI's package, to the in game tutorial made by Trevally (New UI's compatible) downloadable from this page, or to this other post by the same Trevally.

If the target is out of sight and only detected as an hydrophone contact, you should use the four bearings method, for plotting its relative position and course on map.

I am sure there are several other methods you can use for estimating target's range, but the ones described above are by far the most popular ones
