Automating Dimensioning a Single Point's Location from 0,0,0

I am trying to automate dimensioning a Single Point's Location
I want to dimension a single point relative to  0,0,0


Any help would be greatfully appreciated.

What kind of dimension do you want to use?

[Humbertogo]

AcadDimRotated

so what kind of problem are you having? Where are you stuck?

I don't any idea how to starting at the moment i think i have brain dead :realmad:

Sub Example_AddDimRotated()
    ' This example creates a rotated dimension in model space.
       
    Dim dimObj As AcadDimRotated
    Dim point1(0 To 2) As Double
    Dim point2(0 To 2) As Double
    Dim location(0 To 2) As Double
    Dim rotAngle As Double
   
    ' Define the dimension
    point1(0) = 0#: point1(1) = 0#: point1(2) = 0#


    'Use CODE to Find out where the Second POINT should go
    point2(0) = 5#: point2(1) = 5#: point2(2) = 0#


    location(0) = 0#: location(1) = 5#: location(2) = 0#
    rotAngle = 0 '(or the angle you want)
    rotAngle = rotAngle * 3.141592 / 180#       ' covert to Radians
   
    ' Create the rotated dimension in model space
    Set dimObj = ThisDrawing.ModelSpace.AddDimRotated(point1, point2, location, rotAngle)
    ZoomAll
End Sub

Is there some reason you don't want to use ORDINATE dims? or is this a programming exercise?

Thank  i know again 
I forgot to  convert the two point to an angel
