Ordinate vs Coordinate Dimensions

cdrvice,
As far as I am concerned, Figure[ ]4[‑]48 is ordinate dimensioning, and this probably is the term they use on your CAD software. On a drawing with lots of holes, ordinate dimensioning is less cluttered. If you have too many holes, your next step is tabular dimensioning.

There is no word "ordinate" anywhere in the standard.

ordinate - (in a system of coordinates) the y-coordinate, representing the distance from a point to the horizontal or x-axis measured parallel to the vertical or y-axis.
In the '2009 version there is no use of the word "ordinate." Sometimes the standard appears to contrast "coordinate" with "BASIC" but many times BASIC dimensions are coordinate dimensions. They are not exclusive.
