Display an origin on a plane

[RJ_FR]

Hello,

On my manufacturing plan for operators, i need to display the program origin for each operation so they can view which surface of the part they have to probe on the part.

The problem : On my plan, i can't permanently display the origin.

when I uncheck the checkbox, all disapear and i can't select my origin "origine_OP010".

Do you have some ideas ? With annotations ?

Thanks in advance.

Use layers to control which csys features are displayed. Once you assign features to layers, then using show/hide layers to control what is displayed.

This should also be possible using combination states and annotations as an alternative if you prefer not to use layers.

Hello,

Thanks for your answer but i don't know how to do that with "combination states and annotations".

Can you explain briefly ?

This looks like you are creating inspection set ups for CMM or similar. Do you have the Creo manufacturing extension? This explains how to set up a reference csys for inspection.

Hello

I put the symbol on the origin. I have created a symbol called origin_nc (attached). See if that makes a difference
