Moving shown datum call out

[mganzer]

I feel dumb for asking this one but I cannot find it. I am trying to move the location of a shown datum like "B" shown below. It is not an annotation feature but a shown datum. I can change it's anchor point of surface, flip direction, but can't move it. Eons ago this may have been move attach. I am looking to move where the datum flag is via changing the angle and length of the leader.

Mark,

it looks like it is not possible to move datum tag. See https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS167122

Hi Martin,

I was afraid that might be the answer.

Thanks,

Mark

When forced to do this, I've used the clunky "Note with special datum-ish markups" trick.

Like "@[A@]" -> "A" with a box around it.

It's lame, but at least I can reposition things.
