Hi,
I'm in need to add additional jog in ordinate dimension. I know that SW have milti-jog in notes.
I know other software have multi jog in ordinate. How can i add jog in ordinate dim ?
Any help would be greatly appreciate.

I'm curious. Would you mind posting a screenshot of a situation where you need to do that?

I'd image where the user wants to route witness lines around a feature, for clarity.
It would be nice if i can insert another jog o dim .60 so i can move this dim to 0 so .61 jog move down and closer to rectangle to distinguish .62 from .61.

In these cases, I would:
Another suggestion, which may not be possible since it's out of view, but when I start crossing things/running tight, I start a new ordinate dim (same baseline of course on the opposite end) and add items to it that help increase the overall clarity.

EDIT: Another workaround is to just place an linear dimension instead, near the entity involved.
EDIT II:
As is sometimes done with similar sized holes clustered near to each other, you can place a leadered note "OPENING X" that points at an opening.
Then edit the dim text for that ord's dim to be "<DIM> OPENING X"
It usually need one more. very rarely need more then that. But very often it clarified where this dim pointing. It relay helping that method when you have many future.

Similar problem. I need two jogs for clarity, so it will go as red line. In addition I can't place a datum on jogged line (which make sense).

Why would you not just have that dimension on the left of the view so you don't need leaders all the way across it?
Sorry for late response.
Because left and right face are the same. Yes, I know I can put 2 dimensions on both sides, I can use profile etc. Problem is there are situations where you want to just jog the line for clarity but SW doesn't allow it while other programs do. Unless there is some magic option but no one knows where.

There's no real reason the part can't have a dim on either side. the <CF> Continous Feature call out also works to identify features acting as the same datum, or base dim location.
If this is a round part the surface unless interrupted (which isn't shown in any other view) would be called out with a centerline. That feature would be assumed the same on either side of the print...
Hello,
As far as I know, it's no.
You can relocate jog endpoints, but that's it.
