Otherwise, I don't have a problem with the current operation. In a dimension chain, text moves parallel if there is room for it and perpendicular if not. A solo dimension will always move parallel, but even solo dimensions often align with other dimensions on a drawing, and I prefer the clarity this relationship provides rather than having dimension texts jumping around. Just MHO, of course.
I would like to have the option for the text to offset perpendicular to the string line rather than parallel to it.
At least the dimension texts should not offset unless they overlap the leader lines; right now the text moves if it even gets close to the arrowheads/hash marks.
