Thx alot, it was right under my nose. hahaha.
You can also drag them after placement in the drawing - so if you don't like your lines to cross, you can fix them. Little details if you're feeling picky.
If you don't like your lines to cross you can also use the "Break Dimension Lines" checkbox in the dimension property manager. I notice that if your drawing template is setup with this as the default behavior, in reality, it only automatically breaks the dimension lines about 50% of the time. But it still beats having to drag the extension lines each time.
