Drawing Axis disappears when I make it a datum

When I create a datum plane/axis in Creo 3 the corresponding axis disappears and I end up having to create a new axis in the model so it shows in the drawings.

Is this a config issue?

Martin,

This is the common behavior that i have observed in Creo 2 and 3. We usually create a separate datum axis in such cases to use as a GTOL datum, be it a datum plane or axis.

Martin,

Please check your layers and see if the datum features are being hidden by default.

Thanks,

It could be that the axis is being placed on a layer that is turned off...
