Ordinate Dimension - Snap points unavailable
Ordinate Dimension - Snap points unavailable
(OP)
While in ordinate dimensioning, Snapping point options of Tangent point and Quadrant point are unavailable.
Why is it? How could I dimension to the nose edge with ordinate dimension scheme?

RE: Ordinate Dimension - Snap points unavailable
As for the 'Quadrant Point' Snap Point, I'm not really sure how much you'd gain by even having it. However, if you can show a good example of where that would be useful, please feel free to do so.

RE: Ordinate Dimension - Snap points unavailable
Having said that, while dimensioning under TYPE= Multiple Dimensions, I could select one dimension vector (i.e. under BASELINE). Hypothetically at this point I need to have the tangent point selection available. This is what I was missing.
Hmm... You are say saying instead of the above (changing the Baseline vector) I should go and change the Type to Single. I'll try it next time. Thanks again.

We need “Tangent snap points” selection, when setting the margins too.
