Ordinate Dimensioning

[Anonymous]

Hi Guys,

We just upgraded to Inventor 11 (from Inventor 9) and I'm having difficulty using the Ordinate Dimensioning. First the text appears to be garbled (not written properly). Second is I don't see anymore the colored dot (used to be a green color dot in inventor 9) when you pick the origin to start the dimensioning. Could someone please help me or give me any information how to fix this problem. Thank you

Also, there seems to be 2 workarounds for this.
1: You can put the origin somewhere else.. and then RMB on the origin and Enter an Offset to get it to the proper place..
BUT.. you must from now on remember where it's attached to.
because if that moves.. the origin will also...
(A very costly Die section was nearly scrapped becasue of that one already)

Option 2:
Make a Sketch in the View.. then make some Sketch Lines to the Point where the origin needs to be. Then Place the origin there.. I did this on one part.. then when I sent the cadfile to the Wire Edm's the Lil sketch lines Goofed the Wire path all up.
(Multiple Wirepath) Luckily it only scrapped the Test template and not the Completed plate..

Well anyhow,those are the 2 workarounds that I know at least..

I'm just praying that Somethign will get Adjusted.. So they can pick up the Point again..
P.S. My job is hell now too..
