IMPLIED INTERSECTION for ORDINATES????

IMPLIED INTERSECTION for ORDINATES????

IMPLIED INTERSECTION for ORDINATES????

(OP)
I know you can do a basic dimension in Inventor 8 and select one line, move off the line and RMB and pick INTERSECTION and then a second line and dimension from that intersection.  BUT is there any way to perform this same function with ORDINATE dimensioning???  Sometimes you need to set the origin to a corner that doesn't exist and you just can't do it....  

::sigh::

RE: IMPLIED INTERSECTION for ORDINATES????

Make a virtual Sharp corner using construction lines and dimension from that.
