Thanks. Along the same lines, if I want to create an oblique hole through 2 parts assembled together, what's the best way to do this? I want to lock 2 parts together with a screw going at an angle not normal to any default plane.

I am trying to create a Datum Axis not normal to any of the default datum planes. Want to create an oblique hole through a part. Is there an easy way to do this? Right now, I need to create several datum planes and several datum axes to accomplish this, and it's messy.
Yes, and I also want to know why I cannot seem to create an axis at the intersection of two datums? It always wants to go normal....
You used to be able to do this?

Yes, that woprked, thanks guys!
I have been away from it for a long time and the interface has changed dramatically! Sometimes I think I would be better off to not have learned it in the 90's... 🙂

Good morning David:
I know how you feel. I’ve been using Pro/E since version 15 (1995).
I have found that 99% of the time functionality you used in the past is in a newer release it’s just that the menu structure and/or approach to accomplishing something has changed. I always figure there will be a small learning curve with a new release, some more than others. The main thing I find annoying about new releases is that past mapkeys sometimes lose their usage and need to be recreated. If you’re a big mapkey user as I am this can sometimes get involved.
The approach that others have already explained above also works for inserting dtm planes. If you need a dtm plane through an axis at an angle as an example, you can select the dtm plane tool, then select the axis, hold the control key while you select another dtm plane and you can now choose the angle of the dtm plane you’re creating. Intuitive really, just different than in the past.
I heard the other day that the interface on the Creo release that’s scheduled for this June will be different than Wildfire 5. The ribbon menu that is now in the drawing mode of Wildfire 5 will be used throughout all modes. Personally I’m looking forward to it.
Have a terrific day!
Best Regards,
