add line break in dimension

Murray_2

Is there a way to insert a dimension line break to keep drawings tidy? 

The red line in the attached image is where I would like a break.

Thanks in advance.

I try to not make them overlap by removing the leader between the arrows and moving the 1.5 dim further down. You are absolutely right it should be able to do it - please create an improvement request in the category on the right —->

Hi Neil, how do you remove the leader between the arrows?

@Reilly_Palmer you can only do it with an ANSI template, so if you want ISO you can start with an ANSI template and modify it to meet your ISO requirements (there is an option in the drawing properties panel to set text aligned with dimension - however, the text is still inline rather than above the dimension line which is not ideal). An improvement request to make this an option would go a long way ----->>>>
