Hi,
Ordinate dimension is possible for linear dimension. Is ordinate dimension possible for angles?

Thanks,
Isha

Echo What the previous poster said, while I was typing.
 
Angular Ordinate dimensioning is NOT possible in NX yet, but in other CAD software.

I have never heard of angular ordinate dimensions nor do I think it is included in any drafting standard . . .
but I could be wrong here.
It looks like AutoCAD could have an angular ordinate dimension, but they are terrible at following drafting standards.
 
Drafting Standards: DIN 406 T11 (12.92)
