Able to enter a "start" value to the origin of Ordinate dimension.

Able to enter a "start" value to the origin of Ordinate dimension.

I make a lot of drawings that are being used by builders and they always want to use there heights. But when building my modells I use my own origin. So when I use Ordinate to show the floor heights it starts with "0" and the next might by "4000". But I would love to be able to enter a start value for the origin, like 15000. So the origin = "15000" and the next floor "15000+4000=19000".

Hope I make myself clear.

A workaround for this would be to add a sketch to your drawing view, and place an "origin line" where you want 0 to be. The line would likely be off of the page, but that wouldn't matter. Then place your origin point for the ordinate dimensions on that point.

Thanks, I tried it and it works. But sometime are we talking abouth hunderds  of meters so I still think it would be a cool feature to have.
