In sketch or drawing, ordinate dimensions are a set of dimensions from a zero ordinate. Ordinate dimensions are considered as reference dimensions which means it is not possible to change or use their value to drive the model.

The type of ordinate dimension whether it is horizontal or vertical is determined by the orientation of the points that you select. It depends on your selection where you want to add the ordinate dimension.
