ordinate dimension origin

Post by ljbuller » Sat Sep 14, 2019 5:57 pm

Is there any way to set the 0,0 point of an ordinate dimension other than moving all entities?

No.

Edit:
Maybe this experimental Add-on/Plug-in is useful for you. It has a "UCS Set origin point" command ...

... but that is not part of the current QCAD Version. :wink:

Yes, you can select the ordinate dimension and drag and drop it's origin to another coordinate or use the property editor to change the property Origin X/Y.

Both methods work for a single or multiple ordinate dimensions.
