When zoomed out your osnap is grabbing the dimension extension line.  When using ENDP osnap you don't have to try and grab the corner, just somewhere to one side of the middle of the line and let AutoCAD do the work for you.

To avoid the zooming to click the corners of the rectangles instead of the other extension lines (or other geometry) after starting the dimension command (using linear or aligned dimensions, not the new dimension tool) hit "enter" or if you have right-click set to "enter" if in a command, hit that, you will then get a pick-box instead of cross-hairs, click on the geometry you want to dimension, then place the text as you would normally. I have right click set to "enter" if in a command, and "repeat last command" if not in a command. In this way I can dimension a lot of objects in a hurry, (double right-click, then select object) and not worry about which endpoint, midpoint, or other point I need to "aim" the cross-hairs at.

Hi,

 

to avaoid that object snaps catch endpoints of dimension lines you can activate the option "ignore dimension extension lines", so object snaps like ENDpoint can't snap to the dimension object.

i was saw cause the new measure first click goes to other measurement line .

i don't know how to exprime . 

if it was a previous measure before i click on the line of that measure not in the corner 

there is anyway to force to get measure only from corners ?

Only Corners: No, but "no dimension lines" Yes.  Read Alfreds answer above.
