Dimensions in .idw

[MisterJingles]

Hi all. This is a beginners question, but how does one ensure that when dimensioning in an .idw all dimensions pull to the same direction/axis? I've tried various methods of selecting edges and dragging all directions but often end up with inconsistencies as shown in the image.

What am I missing? 

 

Thanks

Ok well if anyone else stumbles upon this topic in search of a solution to the same problem I was able to overcome this issue by toggling between directions using the spacebar before placing the dimension.

Thanks for taking the time to come back post and explain the workaround.

Spacebar it is.
