setting "X" and "Y" reference points

[rullan]

Is there a way to establish a coordinate position where X and Y = 0, so that you can simply reference dimensions from there?

 

[gggggggggg]

not sure what you mean.



dimensions can be converted to ordinate in the drawing mode.

I think I stumbled onto the solution. You're right, I can set the linear dimensions to ordinate.



Thanks

You can dimension from a coordinate system. You can put a coordinate system where ever you want.
