Very simple, in theory. When two dimension tags are overlapping, they cascade or otherwise group themselves beside one another, instead of sitting on top of one another. If you have very many concentric shapes and need to resize them, finding the appropriate tag to type a new dimension into can be somewhat difficult.

I like this idea, pretty practical

I have the same problem, when you do pattern with the pattern tool, it can be a pain to find a dimension. A lot of overlaping text, not useful and confusing !
