Method 1 - explode the dimension and check the box for Frame for the text and change the text to space characters.

 

Method 2 - create a rectangle with a hatch of color 255,255,255 and cover the dimension text of the dimension line.  Use draworder or have the rectangle at a z > 0 to make sure the rectangle is displayed after the dimension line.

Place the dimension, select and open properties, in text override just enter a bunch of spaces.

I am going with Method 2.
