    You can also drag them after placement in the drawing - so if you
    don't like your lines to cross, you can fix them. Little details if
    you're feeling picky.

    If you don't like your lines to cross you can also use the "Break Dimension
    Lines" checkbox in the dimension property manager. I notice that if your
    drawing template is setup with this as the default behavior, in reality, it
    only automatically breaks the dimension lines about 50% of the time. But it
    still beats having to drag the extension lines each time.
