Spacing dimension lines

If your drawing contains several dimensions, you can distribute equal space between their dimension lines. The dimension must be linear or angular with dimension lines that are parallel.

To distribute equal space between dimension lines

   1   Do one of the following to choose Adjust Spacing ():     

    On the ribbon, choose Annotate > Adjust Spacing (in Dimensions).

    On the menu, choose Dimensions > Adjust Spacing.

    On the Dimensioning toolbar, click the Adjust Spacing tool.

    Type dimspace, then press Enter.    

   2   Select a linear or angular dimension from which dimension lines of other dimensions are to be equally spaced.

   3   Select the parallel linear or angular dimensions to adjust, and press Enter when done.

   4   Enter a value for the spacing distance, or press Enter to adjust the distance automatically to two times the text height of the base dimension.
