How do I turn off the new dimension popup box?

Every time I try to drag a dimension or pick another that darn popup dimension property box is in the way.  I have gotten complaints from several of our engineers about this but I have dismissed it assuming we just needed experiance with 2010.  We've tried to live with it for a couple of weeks now and it's just not cutting it.

The auto placement of dimensions is also an anoying new feature.  It looked great in the demos but I'm struggling to work any more efficently.

How steep is the learning curve for these features?  Is there a tutorial?  It's sure not intuitive.

Is there a way to not center a radius dimension?  I'm sure we had that ability in past versions.
