Moving Dimensions in 3D

Is there a way through LISP to move the visual aspects of dimension lines in 3D without moving the association points? I had originally posted this in another forum, and it was recommended I re-post here, as there is not a "normal" function to get around this inefficiency. A particular process that I have to use currently creates this defect with dimensions, and I'd like to mitigate it somehow. I am not familiar with LISP, but know that at some point I need to learn it.

 

Here's a few screenshots of dimensions no longer residing on the same plane as the faces of the associated objects, as well as a sample drawing:

If the visuals of the dimensions could be pushed over just a bit without messing with association, wow, that would be a time-saver.

 

I know that there was another posting very similar to what I'm posting now, but I'd rather not dig up an old thread.

 

Thanks in advance!

Correct. I'm just hoping that of the different ways to get to that point, there's one that is simple and efficient that eliminates redrawing.

No code here. I turned on orthogonal and moved the solid 3 units 'right'. Are you on AutoCAD 2024 ?

No, I'm still on 2023.
Moving the object isn't quite the issue; I know that can be done. In fact, that's how the dimensions get misaligned in the first place. For what I'm doing, I'm having to move objects that have dimensions tied to them, and I need to be able to move the dimensions after the fact.
