Question
Disappearing set datums
I have a weird problem. I've used an existing drawing as the basis for a new design.
In this new drawing the set datum will sometimes disappear and the only way to get it back is to hide all the layers and the unhide them.
This never happens to me with I create a drawing from scratch. When I asked one of the other guys about this he says it's been a problem for years and he told me about the hide unhide trick.
My guess is this problem is happening because of something the users are doing that I'm not doing. However I have no idea what it might be.
Also I can't figure out what causes it disappears in the first place.
Anyone seen this behavior? Know what the users are doing?
The only thing difference I see is instead of attaching the feature control frame to the datum, they have the datum suction cup hanging off the bottom of the feature control frame. I never do it like that.
