Hide lines behind dimension

    How can I have an area behind a dimension "clear up" to better see the dim ?
    I refuse to explode everything and trim manually. I'm sure there is some way
    to do this. The area is very dense with lines, text, etc. and I can't put
    the dim elsewhere.

    Please help.

    Thanx

    If it's that cluttered, better to add a detail in a larger scale IMHO
    than trying to flog that dead horse.

    If it is that crowded and you are willing to lose the detail behind the
    dimension, then that detail must be unnecessary in relation to the
    dimension.

    So, how about making full use of layers to separate various items on the
    drawing and dimension accordingly. Then you can freeze any layer that you
    do not need to see and print/plot only what you need.
