Stub Dimensions

I am new to AutoCad and was wondering if you can stub dimension on AutoCad LT 2009.

Like this, this is a pic I found on this site. I detail Structural Steel and could really use something like this. It would make the drawing a lot neater without all the dimension lines. Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks Clayton

Can you be a little more specific? What do you mean by "stub dimension"?

Claytona,

Look into ordinate dimensioning, I think it is close to what you want.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't understand.

Well I have tried that and it works really well but I draw about 30-40 peices on one drawing and can't draw every one at coordinates 0-0. So on one peice the dimensions may start at 41'-2"

Then, move your ucs to that point. By command "UCS" "origin" snap to that point or input the coordinates ,say, (41'-2",0).

Thanks, that is exactly what I wanted.............Thanks everyone for the help.
