This is a short video on the use of Ordinate Dimensions in Autodesk Inventor. I am using 2022, but this has been around for a while. I explain why people might use Ordinate Dimensions, the difference between “Ordinate” and “Ordinate Set” in Inventor. I then show some simple ways to adjust the locations of the dimensions. Yes, there are more options than what I go into, but I didn’t want the video too long. The main reason for the video is to show how to move the Origin location on your drawing.
