Hello,

I am using Creo 9 on a windows laptop. I want to place a datum callout on a diameter dimension. However, creo automatically puts the datum on the witness line opposite the dimension value. How do I get them to be on the same side? This has been very frustrating, and I don't understand this limitation in the least.

Thanks,

General

You should post your model and drawing; without it we have to speculate on what you are working with.

If you move the diameter dimension to a view where the feature is a circle, does the behavior change? How are you creating the datum tag? This may have something to do with the behavior.

Simple example of placing a datum tag on a hole diameter dimension. If you follow this example, do you see similar results?
