Ordinate dimenioning after rotating a view

[aroundhere]

I had to make some projected views to get a straight on view from the side of a part. As known, when you create the view, it generates the view on an angle perpendicular to the section lines (or view lines). Anyway, after rotating the views and aligning them in the drawing....I now am trying to add ordinate dimensions to the part, but the ordinate dims are coming out on an angle instead of the vertical line with dim. Is there anyway to fix this? Does this make sense?

thanks

aroundhere,

Are you trying to add to an existing set of ordinate dimensions, or create a set of new ones?

I have had weird behaviour on adding to ordinate dimensions, which I have corrected by dragging some of the numbers towards or away from the part. Would this work?

Im adding new dims to a new view. I had to make a section view from a end view. The section view (arrows) was on an angle, pointing towards the side of the part. The section view that is created is on the same angle as the section line. So, I had to rotate the view to make it line up with the rest of the views in the drw. I guess sworks still sees the model (in this view)as being on angle because the ordinate dims come up and are 30degrees off vertical. Has anyone ever created a projected view, the view is created on whatever angle your projected line and arrows point...then, you have to rotate the whole view to the other views? I may have to make a pdf showing what I mean.

Hey, I just used the ordinate dim that you would use on an angle and it works. Weird. lines im dimensioning are verticle, but since I rotated the view, sworks thinks the part is sitting 30degrees rotated in space. Oh well.
