IMHO:
Read the Drawing manual. Create ordinate baseline(s) in your part while sketching. Show the baseline(s) in the drawing. Show dimensions ordinately using the baseline(s). Create dimensions where neeeded.

Ordinate Dimensioning is easy..
*Create a new reference this is a regular overall dimension *Then you need to turn it into a base insert/dimension/ordinate, then select create bases from the side menu select the extension line that you want to make your 0 *To make more references from this 0, insert/dimension/ordinate, then select create dims, select your 0 and start adding dimensionsI hope this helps
