Once you have created multiple paralleled linear dimensions or angular dimensions, you can adjust the space among these paralleled lines with an equal value either default or specified.
Various methods are available for creating paralleled linear dimensions and angular dimensions. Either using DIMLINEAR and DIMANGULAR to create dimension one at a time or executing DIMBASELINE and DIMCONTINUE to place other linear dimensions or angular dimensions according to the linear dimension or angular dimension previously created.
When using DIMBASELINE for creating baseline dimensions, the space between each dimensions is the identical, which is controlled by system variable DIMDLI, but the variable is only applied to control dimension space for the subsequent dimension space. If you adjust dimension space by changing the size of dimension text is changed only, or adjusting the dimension scale other than changing the position of dimension line, then the dimension line is likely to be overlapped with text.
DIMSPACE command is also available for adjusting the space among paralleled linear or angular dimensions or overlapped dimensions automatically in case that the original space is not equal values.
It should be noticed when adjusting dimension space, the dimensions you select must be of the same type, for example, either all of linear dimensions or angular dimensions. Additionally, these dimensions must be paralleled, or share the same origin and placed at the extension line of one another.
If you set the space value to 0 when adjusting space among dimensions, you can align selected dimensions at the dimension line. If specify the space as Auto, dimension space among them is default to twice of the text height. To modify the text height, you can set from Text tab on Modify dimension style dialog box.
