I want to remove datum B from the 13mm dimension shown in the image below. It seems to be attached to the feature somehow so the only way I can find to get rid of it is to delatet the feature.
The implementation of geometric tolerancing in Creo is pathetic and just what I've come to expect after 16 years using Pro/Engineer.

Solved! Go to Solution.
You can disconnect the datum and the dimension by changing the properties of the Datum B to unset as a Datum.
Thanks for getting back to me.
I know how to get to that option for an axis, but the datum B is attached to the feature and more specifically the dimension, and there is no mention of the datum tag when I go to the dimension or feature properties. It also doesn't seem to be listed in the annotations in the model tree. (I'm using Creo 2)

try to remove the datum from the model properties:
I'm using Creo 2, and if I want to remove a datum from a dimension, I do the following:
(1) Click on the "Annotate" tab. This will "turn on" the annotation features in the Drawing Tree.
(2) Determine which of the views listed is the one with your dimension in it.
(3) Expand the "Datums" item for that view, it should list "Model: C"
(4) Select "Model: C" in the Drawing Tree, then right mouse button to bring up and select "Properties".
(5) Now you can switch the datum from "In Dim" to some other option, etc.
Thanks to you both.
I managed to remove it from the drawing properties.
Unfortunately, the Drawing Tree method didn't seem to work as datum B isn't shown.
Is it me, or is this simply terrible user interface design? It's like its designed to be intuitive.
Thank you again,
Sam
great that it worked
