3ds Max :: Aligning Co-ordinate System / Pivot
Feb 29, 2012I have done some reading up on this but the answer is not apparently obvious. I want to do the equivalent of an AutoCAD 3 Point UCS creation in Max.
The attached shows some planar objects with 2mm gaps between them. These are orientated at various angles from XYZ in the World co-ordinate system. I simply want to move some of the vertices in a line along an edge of the parts in order to increase the 2mm gaps slightly.
Q. How do I set up the XYZ so that it matches the parts that I have selected?
I have looked at Affect Pivot/Edit Pivot etc. but there doesn't seem to be an option to choose edges for the XY axes as you would in CAD?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Ordinate Dimension To Apparent Intersection? (but Not Using Ordinate Set)
Jun 11, 2013There 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.
GIMP :: Will Not Access File System To Import Files

View 4 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD 2010 :: Use Ordinate Dimensions
Jan 12, 2012I 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 :: Moving UCS For Ordinate Dimensioning?
Jul 23, 2013I'm using AutoCAD 2012, and trying to move my UCS within a viewport to a corner of my detail, but when I start to dimension using ordinate dimensioning, my point of origin (0.000) it gives me (1009.2003). In AutoCAD 2002, I could move my UCS within a viewport and start ordinate dimensioning and my (0.000) would be where I moved my UCS to.
View 0 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD 2013 :: Negative Ordinate Dims
Dec 20, 2013Apparently we're using ordinate dimensions in a way that was not intended, but that makes perfect sense to us. We work with building elevations and sometimes, though not too often, there are points that fall below the zero elevation. But when we put an ordinate dim on these points it is noted as a positive number.
Is there some way to get these to show with a negative sign? For example, -4'-3"

View 6 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Ordinate Dim To Sketch Entities
Feb 20, 2012We'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.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Adding To Ordinate Dimensions
Mar 20, 2013I 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.

How do I add more ordinate dimensions to the existing?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Ordinate Diameter Dimensioning?
Aug 10, 2009I 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.

Jul 26, 2012I haven't done this in several years, and my notes are apparently incomplete. Enclosed is an image of the type of ordinate dimensioning that I want, and also my faulty notes. Maybe someone here can add the missing pieces. When I follow my notes, for some reason the UCS is displayed, whereas in the past it wasn't. I am using Version 2000 if it matters.
Notes: Tools/New UCS/Origin this yields small selection square select top right hand corner, for the zero point, then from the Tool Bar: Dimension/Ordinate, to mark the corner with zeroes.Image00256.jpg
AutoCAD .NET :: Ordinate Dimension In Blocks - Getting Geometric Extents
Sep 9, 2013I am drawing ordinate dimensions in blocks and then I am getting the geometric extents of these blocks, if the block contains the dimension, the extents are much larger than expected. What may be the cause?
See the attached drawing, the lines are connecting geometric extents MinPoint and MaxPoint. For the blocks that don't have dimension in them, the extents are correct.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Profile Middle Ordinate Expression
Apr 9, 2012I'm trying to build an expression to display the Middle Ordinate for profile curves. I don't usually do this but it's required for this project.
The first thought was to subtract the PVI elevation from the profile elevation. The PVI elevation is easy but I don't see an easy way to get the profile elevation. I can go through the whole formula for calculating the grade. But that will probably take some debugging.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Object Snap Settings In Ordinate Dimensions?
Jan 9, 2013We 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?
