Create baseline and ordinate dimensions for linear dimension styles.
Baseline dimensions
Ordinate dimensions
You can create baseline and ordinate dimensions for linear dimension styles. Linear dimension styles include aligned, horizontal, and vertical dimensions. To create a baseline or ordinate dimension for these linear dimension styles, you need to edit the Dimension String type parameter. Since this is a type parameter, you may want to create a new baseline or ordinate linear dimension style so that any continuous dimensions in the project are not affected when you edit the parameter.
Baseline and ordinate dimensions export to CAD formats.
Attention: Arc length dimensions are linear dimensions and have parameters (Dimension String Type and Ordinate Dimension Settings) for creating baseline and ordinate dimensions, but these parameters have no effect on arc length dimensions.
