AutoCad 2004 & DimOrdinate

[MeisterWeber]

Hello,
I am using AutoCAD 2004 to create basic 2D drawings.
When I use the DIMORDINATE command, all values become positive.
Is it possible to have a minus sign on coordinates that are on the negative side of the origin?
Is it possible to display the axis also (e.g. X 123.123 Y -345.345)?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi MeisterWeber,
I don't have experiences with "dimordinate", but I think You can work with a prefix. Then use "_matchprop" to get the minus for the negative values.

a lisp. Maybe someone has one...?

You might try making a copy of your dim style to a new one but use a "-" prefix when creating the dims in the negative direction.
