You know you have seen them before, a series of baseline dimensions with differing spaces or adjusted manually until they look fine. You can use the DIMSPACE command to adjust the space to a set distance between them or use the default automatic. So I put together a quick example of using DIMSPACE.
From the Menu Dimension> Dimension Space
From the Dimension toolbar
From the AutoCAD Command Line: DIMSPACE
Before using DIMSPACE
Baseline dimensions selected
Completed with a consistent spacing between dimensions
For the smart buggers that need multiple ways or are currently shouting out the alternatives at their browser, yes you could also use QDIM to change the style or space as well and perhaps 3 or more others ways to accomplish it but I was trying to focus on DIMSPACE. 😉

This is a very useful function, Thanks for your explanation.
Have you tried this with vertical dimensions? I cannot make it work right with vertical dimensions. No matter what order I select the dimensions to be space it doesn’t put them in the right order.
