    <description>&lt;P&gt;In linear dimension styles type settings, there is a parameter called Dimension Line Snap Distance.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This controls how far away each parallel linear dimension will snap from an adjacent dimension string.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;It is a great way to allow users to set this behavior so that the dimensions don't crowd the text in between.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The problem is that baseline dimensions use this setting in exactly the same way as continuous and ordinate dimensions. They will use it to snap to &lt;STRONG&gt;OTHER&lt;/STRONG&gt; dimension strings at the specified spacing, but the spacing within the same baseline dimension is unaffected by this parameter.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;See attached screen capture. I made both types of Dimension Line Snap Distance spaced at 9/32", but the baseline dimension (blue) still has some hidden, unchangeable spacing from the out of the box settings. The continuous dimensions (red) are spaced how I want them.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Please make the baseline dimensions spacing internally respect the Dimension Line Snap Distance setting.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Obviously, we can create the same sort of dimension string. I did it below with the red continuous dimensions. If we have to do that all the time, you might as well just get rid of the baseline type of dimensions.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Baseline.png" style="width: 862px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/891972i832A2A3A42E76E5C/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="Baseline.png" alt="Baseline.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I take it back about the hidden, unchangeable dimension.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I found it in the instance parameter "Baseline Offset."&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I can't think of a reason why I would want an instance parameter for this dimension. Please make them both use the standard type parameter.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Agreed...my default dimension line snap distance is set to 3/16" for linear type measurements; however, every time I use the baseline dimension command the default snap distance is 1/4".&amp;nbsp; I've tried to set the default baseline snap distance in the type properties to 3/16", but it always reverts to 1/4" and needs to be changed every time.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
