Ordinate dimension to sharp corner

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to use ordinate dimensions to specify a sharp corner?
I can do it with basic dims but cannot find a way in ordinate.

Thanks

I think someone has a avi file to illustrate this. You may want to look
through ICF.

Basically, if you run your cursor along the edge and drag toward the sharp
corner, you should see a hidden line appear between the part and your
cursor. Do the same for the other edge and when you are over the
intersection, you'll get a green dot. Click there and it should put the
dimension where you want it.

Thanks Kevin,
That worked. I just had to zoom in on the intersection so I could see
the dot.
