Dim offset?

[RFRUSSO]

I have to dimension a floor plan and need my dimensions to be to the center line of my walls. At this stage of the drawing all of the interior walls are 5". It occurred to me that the swell way to do this would be to dimension every thing by object, and have the dimensions automatically offset from the object by 2.5". Now the questions is, is there a command or setting to do this?

The very last option is "ext line offset" with whatever the standard incriment is you have set up in your dimstyle. If you change it, it will only change the dims you have highlighted :)

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I would like to have my dimensions offset to the side.

I would like this:
1941

To look like this:
1942

wouldn't it have been easier to draw your walls using multilines, with one of the lines as a centreline between the walls (placed on a non-printable layer).
it would be far easier to dimension that way.
i am not aware of a simpler solution without fudging something or other
