RE: Ordinate dimension

Hi,

You can try to use Datum Feature, right mouse buton on the rectangle, Datum Feature Object, definion, modify the letter with your dimension, ok, and right mouse button on the small yellow rectangle and symbol shape, no symbol.

Its not so correct, but you can obtain what you want (fake, of course).

Fernando

Tried that, but you can only place 2 characters in the box.

Thanks anyway.

RE: Ordinate dimension

Try something classic :) - draw a rectangle, write a text or something else inside (you can drag the text where you want) and draw a line....

Regards
Fernando

RE: Ordinate dimension

I guess is that you have to define the proper standard for the cumulative dimension then just frame the value (text tab in dimension properties)
