In the Elevations section of Current File Settings, the Initial offset from detail to dimensions allows you to set the default spacing between a plan details and its first dimension line.
In this image, an arrow appears in the space between the plan detail and the first dimension line, showing you the spacing that you modify when you adjust the Initial offset from detail to dimensions:
Caution: You should adjust the Initial offset from detail to dimensions before you insert multiple elevations. If you want to change plan detail dimension spacing for inserted elevations, you can adjust the Offset Between Detail and Dimensions in the Properties Editor.
