For some reason I can only dimension the distance between the first circle to the second at the weird angle in the picture. I would like to dimension it this way:

Horizontally dimensioning between circles
After the dimension's created you can't change from aligned to vertical so you'll need to delete and add again. Normally you can move the mouse to change from aligned the horizontal\vertical but if you can't get this to work you can right click while the dimension's active and specify the type you want.
