Sounds like you either want to convert existing linear dimensions to ordinate (select the dimensions, then click Edit > Linear to Ordinate) or you want to create ordinate dimensions (Insert > Dimension > Ordinate Dimension), and choose the appropriate model reference as your baseline.



If the part is a sheetmetal part, 2001 has automatic ordinate dimensioning for bends and notches and similar features.

Create driven dimensions in the appropriate drawing view..



If you want both in the model you'll have to use ref dimensions...
