Ordinate dimension

[radohric]

Hello
i have created an ordinate dimension. but later i found out that i dont need it and i want to delete the start points (i mean the yellow arrows that are created on the begining ) it was been told me that the yellow arrows that are created cant be delleted... is it truth?

I'm not sure what you mean by the "yellow arrows". I'm not familiar with any "yellow arrows" as it relates to Ordinate Dimensions. Could you provide an image showing these "yellow arrows"?

OK, with the Ordinate Dimension 'dialog/toolbar' open, select the icon showing an 'A' in the 'Settings' section and then select the 'Ordinate' tab and in the upper right corner, in the section of the dialog labeled 'Ordiante Set', check to see which option is set for the item labeled 'Positive Direction'. This setting uses two icons showing crossed arrows. Select the icon labeled 'All' and NOT 'User-Defined'. Now seelct OK and see if this removes the 'yellow arrows'.

Thank you for answer but i dont think i fully understand the start of the sentense : "OK, with the Ordinate Dimension 'dialog/toolbar' open "

but i have found the setting for ordinate dimension .... the problem is i dont understand how to change the specify ordinate dimension ...
thats what i have done :
i just clicked on the icon of ordinate dimension and in the menu bar that showed up i clicked on the "A" blue button allias settings and then i have done other steps... but nothing happend.

You're in the right place and it appears that you've got the setting right as well. However, it's possible that you have more than one set of ordinate dimension origins defined, which I'm not sure how you did this nor how to get out of the situation where both of their origins are being displayed at once. Perhaps it might be time to call GTAC.

I have problems with ordinates too.
If I accidentally create more origins, how can I delete the unwanted ones?
If I want to use User-defined stile ordinates, how can I define the positive directions?
Thanks in advance.

Hi radohric/kukelyk,
radohric after clicking ordinate dimension command your ordinate cordinates are heighlighted as you show in your image of yellow arrow,
after that just select axis of one of your co-ordinate which you want to delete then go to setting where you see Display name style in that you have select ordinate set name...so after that you see ordinate on drawing so you can delete it
