An ordinate dimension: the X or Y of a point measured from an origin, on a leader with no dimension line.
Syntax
DIMORDINATE origin,point,at,X|Y
DIMORDINATE @id,origin,point,at,X|Y,layer,KEY=value,…
| Argument | Meaning |
|---|---|
| origin | The point measured from (its X or Y is 0). |
| point | The point measured. |
| at | Where the text goes: for X, the leader runs up or down from the point to level with this; for Y, across. |
| X, Y | Which to show: X across from the origin, Y up from it. |
The id, layer and settings after it are the element settings; the KEY=value settings are the dimension settings.
Examples
P4=[500,450]
DIMORDINATE P0,P1,P4,X,8
P5=[550,400]
DIMORDINATE P0,P2,P5,Y,8
Notes
Points left of or below the origin show negative values. Give several the same origin to dimension a row of holes or panels from one edge. See also: Ordinate Dimension Tool.
