Selections made immediately after calling this method continue to add ordinate dimensions to the group of ordinate dimensions. When you finish adding ordinate dimensions to the group, use IModelDoc2::SetPickMode to return to the default selection mode.

Use IModelDoc2::EditOrdinate to add ordinate dimensions to an existing group of ordinate dimensions.
