Dimensions lines too close 2

[Travh2008]

Hello,

I am adding dimensions to a drafting part, and some dimensions lines are too close, causing the text to overlap. I thought I could just click the dimension value and drag it to the side, but only some dimensions allow this. I've added a screenshot of my problem.

How can I fix this problem?

Thanks

These appear to be Ordinate Dimensions. If so, try selecting the interferring dimensions, press MB3 and select the 'Style' option. You should be in the 'Ordinate' tab or the 'Edit Dimension' dialog. If so, change the 'Dogleg' option from 'No' to 'Yes' (by selecting the corresponding icons below the word 'Dogleg') and then hitting OK.

Try drag the dimension while pressing the Shift key. It should enable a dogleg.

The dogleg works perfectly.

Thanks guys,
