PCB Editor (Allegro) Get Distance (Dimension) Between Two Points

I want the edge-to-edge distance between these two pads, however whenever I select Dimension->Dimension Environment, then right click and select Linear Dimension, and select each of the pads, I keep getting the pin-to-pin dimension. What should I select in order to get a 'dumb' dimension?

I realize that I could take the pin-to-pin dimension, subtract half of the width of the rectangles on either side, and obtain my measurement, but I'm sure there's a way to do this automatically and I just don't know it (yet!)

Thanks!
