Found a faster way to hatch dimension lines in AutoCAD and it changed my workflow

I had this problem where I was spending way too long manually trimming dimension lines that overlapped in crowded floor plans. I used to draw each one individually and then adjust them by hand, taking maybe 45 minutes per sheet. Then I tried using the 'dimbreak' command with the 'auto' option on a set of 30 dimensions at once, and it cleaned everything up in about 30 seconds. Has anyone else found hidden commands that cut down your drafting time, or do you prefer sticking with manual adjustments?

Tried the 'dimbreak' auto option too and it's a lifesaver on busy plans. You can also use 'dimspace' to evenly space out parallel dimensions in one go instead of dragging each line manually.
