Making Dimensions Oblique
AutoCAD creates extension lines perpendicular to the dimension line. However, if the extension lines conflict with other objects in a drawing, you can change their angle. New dimensions are not affected when you make an existing dimension oblique.

To create oblique extension lines
- From the Dimension menu, choose Oblique.
- Select the dimension.
- Enter the angle directly or by specifying two points.
Command line DIMEDIT
