When dimensioning Inventor drawings, the dimension extension lines may get automatically broken (gap added) when the extension line goes through another text in the drawing:

This gap is controlled through the dimension style - see Manage > Style and Standards > Styles Editor > Dimension, the Display tab, the parameter C: Gap.

If you need to break the extension or dimension line in another arbitrary place, put an annotatiion text to this location and enter just a couple of spaces: " ". After the particular view gets updated, the dimension lines will be displayed with a gap.
