NX3 Ordinate Dimensions on an Angle

NX3 Ordinate Dimensions on an Angle

(OP)
Does anyone know how to get ordinate dimensions to show up on an angle say if you had a auxiliary datum on an angle, it seems to want to set up all ordinates 90/180 degrees to the view. I am using NX3. Thanks.

That capability was not available until NX 4, when we completely rewrote Ordinate Dimensioning.
