WF4 ordinate dimensioning

[DeanLong]

This is somewhat of a rantwith hope that someone has some magic they will share...

I have a nine page drawing of an overmolded componentwith about 500 ordinate dimensions.We are moving the originfrom a verticle tube to a horizontal hole due to, e'hem...past failures and lackof GD&T knowledge. The dims are shown, but for numerous reasons (multiple PG's, ECG's across skel's and master models) I can'tmerely move my 0,0,0 to my new datum location.

Does anyone know a way to trick Mr. Pro/Detail to temporarily forget the old baseline, allow me to set a new baseline and all the dims magically revise? Hmmmm...say it's possible! I do not look forward to re-dimensioning the whole drawing.

thanks....

Found this paragraph in the help:

If an existing ordinate dimension is no longer valid in a modified drawing,

you can edit its attachment instead of re-creating it. Ordinate dimension groups can also be

deleted by selecting only the baseline and deleting it.
