AutoCAD Inventor :: Object Snap Settings In Ordinate Dimensions?

Jan 9, 2013

We use ordinate dimensions for all holes in parts.  Unfortunately there seems to be features frequently left out of ordinate dimension mode.  For instance, by default Inventor uses center and quadrant object snaps.  Unlike in normal dimension mode, there is no right click option for disabling quadrant snaps.  This is a constant annoyance, especially when dimensioning a print with a lot of holes.  Is there any other way or hidden setting to disable the quadrant snap?  In addition, add member is missing from the new "marking menu"  completely so we have to enable the old right click menu to get it back.  Are we the only ones using ordinate dimensions?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Adding To Ordinate Dimensions

Mar 20, 2013

I have had to revise a part that someone else created at some earlier date.They used the ordinate dimensions, which works perfectly and looks good.

I have had to add some holes to this part, but can not figure out how to add more dimensions to the existing ones, outside of deleting the dimensions and dimensioning them all over again.

How do I add more ordinate dimensions to the existing?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Ordinate Dimensions - How To Use Point As Zero Surface

Dec 18, 2013

I use ordinate dimensioning on most all the drawings that go to our shop, but I've run into a problem setting 0,0 on one part.

Along the left side, is a straight edge, but the zero point along the bottom will be a point.

How do I use the point as my zero surface?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Ordinate Dimension To Apparent Intersection? (but Not Using Ordinate Set)

Jun 11, 2013

There was a message on here about using Ordinate Set to create an ordinate dimension to an apparent intersection and I've managed to do that, but is there a way to use just Ordinate to dimension to an apparent intersection? I've tried dragging and right click menu but no luck.

I'm using Inventor Professional 2012.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Dimensions Snap To Thread Symbol?

Nov 30, 2012

When working in the drawing environment it is easy to accidantially snap the dimension to a thread symbol (the arc around the hole), instead of the actual hole.

I don't think need dimensions to snap to these symbols.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Use Ordinate Dimensions

Jan 12, 2012

I am using AutoCAD 2012.  I am trying to use ordinate dimensions for the first time.  So far, when I want to add the X and Y dimensions for a particular feature in my drawing, I choose the "ordinate" dimension type and then I select my feature.  I drag my leader horizontally and it gives me the Y dimension.  Then I choose the "ordinate" dimension type again, I select my feature again, and this time I drag my leader vertically and it gives me the X dimension. 

I like how this works, but I think I would like it better if, rather than having two separate leaders for X and Y dimensions, I could just have one leader that would show both X and Y dimensions separated by a comma...i.e. something like [X:5.0; Y 7.5]

AutoCad 2D :: Ordinate Dimensions And Text Upside Down And Back To Front

Dec 2, 2013

i was asked to assist with plotting some coordinated on a drawing, the catch is i need to re orientate the UCS with Y+ at the top of the screen, X+ to the right, Y- to the bottom and X- to the left..

I managed to get this part right, that was the easy part.....

However when i went to put any Dimension or even Text on the drawing it was Backwards and Upside Down.

I have added a small screenshot for reference ....

What I'd like are the coordinates of two nodes the object contains...

Is it possible to apply the autocad cursor in some why with the node object snap to get their coordinates?

3ds Max :: How To Snap One Object To Other With Vertex Snap

Apr 18, 2011

I'm trying to snap one object to the other with vert snap.

It's trying to snap from the center of my object rather then the vert I am hovering over. In the Snap settings I have only "vertex" checked so it should snap to whatever vertex I hover over but no...This keeps up I'm going back to 2008 when all this worked fine.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Donut Manipulation And Grid Snap Settings

Jun 28, 2013

I have a drawing of Clock Face here (see the picture below), which requires donut for the outer circle. My first question is, looking at the picture, what would be the limits, grid, and snap settings? I made an attempt with the limits (0',0') (12',9'), with Grid =0'-0 1/2", and Snap = 0'-0 1/4", but it didn't work out well. I tried to make the Snap 0'-0 1/32" but it couldn't, neither 0'-0 1/16", nor 0'-0 1/8". Why can't I set the Snap to 0'-0 1/32"?

Next, I would like to know how the outer circle could be constructed with donut. The small inner circle below it is of 1'-11" + 1" + 1" in diameter, that is, 2'-1". If then the Donut (as shown) is to be of 24" inside x 1" thick, the 2'-1" DIA circle would disappear within the thickness of the Donut, leaving no gap between them both. How could this be drawn,

AutoCAD Inventor :: Ordinate Dim To Sketch Entities

Feb 20, 2012

We're having a problem with Ordinate dimensions.  When we dimension to a radius corner, we dim to the "implied intersection" of the two lines, rather than to the center of the radius.  We make a sketch with the two "tick marks", then dim to the intersection of the tick marks. 

Ordinate dimensions are not allowing us to pick the intersection:  it wants to put two (or three) dimensions, one to each end of one or the other tick marks (see attached).  We use Ordinate dims about once a year, but I'm sure I remember being able to ordinate dimension to the tick marks.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Ordinate Diameter Dimensioning?

Aug 10, 2009

I design molds for the rubber industry and I was using Acad 2000; I am just now starting to use inventor. I need to used the ordinate dimensioning although I need the dimension to be given as a diameter and not as a radius. Is there anyway to scale the ordinate dimension automatically as 2:1? This way when I give the prints to the tool room they don't have to manually double every diametrical dimension. The prints that I draw only show half of the mold, there for needing a 2:1 dimension scale.
