Dimension Placement

It is common for me to have a fight with SolidWorks trying to place a dimension where I want it.  I select a position, and SW moves the dimension to a place I don't want.  SW often sneaks in and wins the argument when I'm not looking, and I find that a drawing that I thought was all sorted out has the dimensions moved to unreadable locations.  Is there a way to deselect this?

Thanks in advance.
