I'm making progress with the dimensioning methods in ViaCad, with the exception of the ordinate dimensions. No matter what I try, I can not get the extension lines to run from the dimension to the measured point. All I get is a small dash in the vicinity of the dimension. Editing after creating the dimension hasn't got me anywhere either. I have read through the brief description in the manual several times. There is probably something I am missing here; maybe someone could explain, or post an example file containing ordinate dimensions that have been correctly applied to a draw view.

Thanks,

Tim,

Thanks for your reply. I examined the file you sent me and made some progress. I was able to get the result I wanted by using the deep select tool and modifying the ordinate dimensions after creation. Is there a way to do this while the dimension is being created?

Thanks again,

JoeM
