Remarks

Ordinate dimensions display the X or Y UCS coordinate of an object along with a simple leader line. The absolute value of the coordinate is used according to the prevailing standards for ordinate dimensions.

An ordinate dimension measuring the absolute X position of a point tangent to a circle

To change the extension lines of an ordinate dimension, change the Rotation and/or TextPosition properties. The extension lines will be recalculated to fit the new requirements.

To create an ordinate dimension, use the AddDimOrdinate method.
