Question

Datum Target "outside" size position

IS there any way to reposition the SIZE callout of a datum target balloon?   So for this example, is there a way to move the "50X100" so that things are clearer?

Thanks...   I cannot see how these things would mater, but this is for CREO Parametric, Version  8.0.5.0.

I haven't found a way to move the text within the target. I usually just try to position the balloon in a way it seems to work.

At a previous employer, they developed custom symbols for the datum targets. Maybe this was one of the reasons, I am not sure.

Yes, I have seen a few statements in presentations/documentations that the target area is at a "fixed length and angle".   So I am thinking it is NOT adjustable, but thought I would ask the Community...

Definitely a good question! I hope someone else has a solution. If you don't get a solution, you can post an "Idea" https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Parametric-Ideas/idb-p/creoparametric

Don't expect any changes, but maybe, just maybe someone is listening! I'm hoping one of these days PTC will do a good overall usability upgrade that will catch a lot of these annoyances!
