I am not sure about ordinate dimensions but for a standard dimension you can turn on some work features from your model. Next create a dimension to it and RMB -> dim type -> Linear Symmetric. Now turn off the work feature.

Haven't dried it with ordinate but you may be able to create it manually this way if it doesn't work.
 
Sorry Sam, tried that but not sure how it would work.
