NX 8.5:
Ordinate Dimension:
Once I define an origin and then place the zeros for that origin, I am limited as to where I can locate subsequent dimensions based on that origin. The limitation is due to snap points that are too far apart for my liking. Is there anyway to define the snap points or turn them off?
Thank you
 
When placing the ordinate dim, there is a "margins" button in the dimension toolbar.

Also, once placed you can select any dimension and drag it around.

You can also hold SHIFT when dragging a dim to add a "dogleg", or remove a dogleg.

With a dogleg added, you can double click a single dimension and drag handles to change its position.

"spacing" under the margins button was what I needed. Thanks!
