You can adjust the offset distance between the automatically arranged dimensions, for example, if the dimension lines appear too narrow.

The thumbwheel appears on the Dimension palette only if you automatically arranged dimensions immediately before.

To adjust automatically arranged dimensions:

  1. In the graphics area, select dimensions.
  2. Move the pointer over the Dimension Palette rollover button .
  3. In the Dimension palette, click Auto Arrange Dimensions .
  4. Repeat step 2.
    At the bottom of the Dimension palette, a thumbwheel appears.
  5. Spin the thumbwheel to change the offset distances.
    For radial and diameter dimensions, the tool increases or decreases the leader lengths.
