"Ordinate will not work for angles. See image for workaround. Not sure if this would work for you, and it is time consuming.

Add an angle dimension then right click on the side of the dimension you do not want to see and hide the extension and dimension lines. Here is the time consuming part you would need to do this for all angle dims. Then for the zero I just started an ordinate dim placed the zero and exited the command."
