Question

View or sheet specific datum tag attachment - WF5

Hello,

I've run into a bit of an issue when doing a drawing in WF5 that I hope some of you may be able to help with. I can't seem to find an answer in old topics, but I imagine that it has to be out there.

In short, I would like to figure out how to attach a datum tag differently in different drawing views, or at the very least different sheets. For example, when I'm qualifying a datum in a particular view, I would like the datum tag attached to the gtol feature control frame. However, when I attach the tag as such, the datum tag vanishes in all other views where I'd like it to be shown on the datum feature itself.

Thanks for any advice you may provide!

-Alex

I believe you have to attach the datum to one or the other, but you cannot have both. If you attach the GTOL to the feature and have the datum on the feature, it probably will communicate the best. See below:

Thanks for the reply, David. This is how I ended up doing it. This is a bit of an annoying limitation, especially when looking at examples where it is done as I had originally intended. C'est la vie.
