How do you hide the origin point using autocad ordinate dimensioning. When I zoom extents there is a point at the origin and is some way from the actual drawing?

AutoCad 2D :: Moving UCS For Ordinate Dimensioning?

Jul 23, 2013

I'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.

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.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Using Ordinate Dimensioning Style?

Jun 11, 2013

I am trying to dimension using ordinate dimensioning style, but I couldn't get some of the lines to change at specified points by 90 degree, and then to continue parallel to the first line. The default couldn't be bent to 90 degree, and desn't stop at where I wanted to bend.

AutoCad 2D :: Refresh Memory On Ordinate Dimensioning?

Jul 26, 2012

I 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 Inventor :: Ordinate Dimension Origin - Set To A Hidden Hole?

Aug 20, 2012

how to set my origin point to a hole center. When you create the first ordinate dimension, you have to set the origin marker.  For the upper view, I want to set the origin to be the same as the view below it.  I can set it to the end of one of the hidden lines from the hole, but I can't seem to set the origin to the center of the hole.

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 :: Sketch Origin Center Point

May 6, 2013

The screen shot below shows three coincident constraints and a projection icon on the origin.

 looks like a projection icon - what does it mean?

I want to delete the three coincident constraints. But when I delete the coincident constraints there is no Sketch origin center point (the sketch origin center point is a square-yellow dot at the x-y intersection). How to delete or move the three coincident constraints with out deleting the sketch origin center point?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Explode Window - Block Inside To Origin Point

May 28, 2013

when i export (or explode) my plan every window, doors etc... split in more "under-blocks", and that's ok. but i have a problem with the windows: after the explode command, one of the blocks inside (the one that shows the opening side) "jump" in the 0,0,0 coordinates point, but all the others remain in the right position.

PS: i think the problem is not in the window-block, because i tried it in another old file, and it works. and the autocad option are also always the same.

I have PS CS5 and adobe says that in order to reset Rulers you need to 'To reset a ruler’s origin to its default value, double-click the upper-left corner of the ruler.'

But when I try that nothing happens. I have tried resetting my workspace as well but still not working.

Illustrator :: X Y Origin Point To Be In Lower Left Corner

Dec 10, 2013

I need the x, y origin point to be in the lower left corner. In the past I was able to go into the Adobe Illustrator setting and change some code so when I double clicked in the left corner of the ruler it would switch my origin to lower left. Now there is nothing in the setting folder because this program is on the cloud.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Origin Point And Measuring Objects

May 6, 2011

I want to be able to measure objects from their top left position in relation to the x - y position.  It appears that I can measure from the centre of objects but that makes the x-y co-ordinates something other than 0.

I can also measure objects from an x-y of 0 but then the object co-ordinates are x0-y0 regardless of where it is on the page.

In Illustrator you can elect to measure from top left to bottom right of an object including the middle nodes in relation to the x-y (wherever you set it), I am sure this must be possible but how.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Ordinate Dimension For Z Value?

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 2013 :: Negative Ordinate Dims

Dec 20, 2013

Apparently 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"

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 :: 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 :: Remove Ordinate Dimension?

Inventor 2009....how to remove an Ordinate dimension (not Ordinate Dimension Set). It seems you can only make one per view. And you can only edit the dimension, i.e. the Origin symbol, but not delete it !? Don't know if there is a change from previous versions of Inventor to 2009.

AutoCAD .NET :: Ordinate Dimension In Blocks - Getting Geometric Extents

Sep 9, 2013

I 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.
