Dimensions are at a 45 degree angle?! Please Help

Every time I try to draw a dimension line on my floor plan I click one side of the dimension then the other then when I double click to get the final thing (where I usually adjust the leader length) it puts the marker down with the dimension but everything (the dimension line) is at a 45 degree angle. I use the dimension tool on one of my independant worksheets and everything works fine. Its just on my floor plan where it changes the dim line angle. Anybody know how I can fix this. I'm sure its just a setting somewhere but I can't find that setting for the life of me.

Which geometry method are you using?
X-Y Only or Any Direction?
Is your Grid rotated by any chance?
