Do you have realized you have to specify the dimension line location with a third click after the origin points? Move farther away from the base line to see if it works. If it works only too far from the base line for your liking then zoom in narrower.
You also can move, reposition an existing dimension line by clicking on it and then grab it at the small blue rectangle at one end and drag it to the desired position.
