Create a jogged extension line not dimjogline 1

[frankreid]

Need to create a dimension that is shown but the extension lines are on another line, not precisely what I want. I need the command that will let me point the extension line to the right place then "jog over" a little to get it off the other line. Clear as mud? Need some help here.

Not quit clear. Right click and then left click on the dimension --> "Dim Text position" --> "Move with Dim line" and then move it, provided that's what you mean.

Sorry, made a mistake - first left and then right.

Left click the dimension then use the grips to move the text?
Use DimBreak to break the dimension line?
Hard to know what you need...

I didn't make myself clear. Maybe this attachment will show what I want. When the extension lines are close to another object but I want to move them away from it I would use a "jog" in the lines. Maybe I'm using the wrong word. Here is what I meant.

Nothing in AutoCAD for this. But, what I do is leave the dimension associative, turn off the extension lines and draw my own polylines for the jogged extension lines.
