Hello,

I am looking to get the extension lines to "adjust" for the gd&t block. example below, I would like the lines to clear the gdt box, is there a way to manually set this?

I don't know of a way to limit the dimension line, but here's what I do instead:

Go to the properties for the dimension to Add Text below the value. just type in a space to leave it blank, and it should trim back the dimension line as if there is text there.
 
Line interruptions is one are of Catia that's way behind the competition. I'd guess by 10 years at least.

I do the same way as jackk said when I must. But I'd rather align the value to either side.
