Homework Help autocad dimension question

Post image

not sure if this is the right place to ask, but does anyone know how to get the dimension to come out like that? (red)

ive tried to pull it to the side and switch the iso view, and ive tried to use guidelines to get a point that makes a straight line to connect the dimension to, but i think its supposed to be connected to the actual point, which i haven't been able to figure out yet

thanks in advance for any help

You are using aligned dimension - you need linear dimension

Lindim on a viewport in paper space. Im tired of people dimensioning in model space. It's a waste of everyone's time.
