Subject: Editing dimensions

The easiest way to edit dimensions is by using grips. Some tasks require an additional command though, such as the Dimension Break command for adding space around dimension and extension lines where they intersect other entities. This helps prevent dimensions from looking as if they are part of drawn entities. You might also want to quickly distribute equal space between the dimension lines of several dimensions. You can also use the Edit Dimension Text command to modify the dimension text and reposition it anywhere along the dimension line or the Make Oblique command to rotate dimension lines and dimension text at any angle.
