Creo 2.0 - Datum Planes (older version vs. newer version)

[rreiff]

All,

I have spend many hours trying to figure out how to change a Datum Plane feature in the drawing mode; such as, verifying the older Datum plane option is active, etc,.....

In a model and drawing mode, the Datum Plane feature behavior is different.

In the model mode, I have 3 options for a Datum Plane feature as shown below.

While in the Drawing mode, I only 2 options

Trying to present the Datum Plane on the drawing using the older version. in the image below, I want to use the type on the left NOT the right. (I created this image for show only).

Any suggestions how to get the Datums to appear on the left on a drawing???

Would appreciate any input, thank you

Raymond,

I am almost sure that it is not possible to display "old set datum symbol" in the drawing.

You could make a symbol for the drawing that referenced the datum in the text portion of the symbol.

"&dtm_b" will reference the "B" datum in the model. If you have an assembly you could add ":0" (where 0 is the Session ID for the model).

I was wrong. Rohit's setting works well.
