Ordinate dimension

[kevwoogs]

I want to be able to produce what I think is called an ordinade (a rectagular framed dimension on a leader without arrow, perpendicular to the point Im dimensioning) dimension in catia V5R14.

Similar to (123)-------------

Please help.

Hi,

You can try to use Datum Feature, right mouse buton on the rectangle, Datum Feature Object, definion, modify the letter with your dimension, ok, and right mouse button on the small yellow rectangle and symbol shape, no symbol.

Its not so correct, but you can obtain what you want (fake, of course).

Tried that, but you can only place 2 characters in the box.

Thanks anyway.

Try something classic - draw a rectangle, write a text or something else inside (you can drag the text where you want) and draw a line....

I guess is that you have to define the proper standard for the cumulative dimension then just frame the value (text tab in dimension properties)
