Rename sketched geometry point

[John.Pryal]

Hi all,

does anyone know if it is possible to rename a sketched geometry point in the same way you can rename a normal datum point.

Regards

John

From what I have seen you can only rename the sketch, not the individual points.

As far as I know you can only rename the group of sketched points. Pro/E see them as one unit kind of like a sketch.

Here is a screenshot of the feature info:

If it created a different feature for each point you could rename them individually, but I don't see anywhere to specify a single point. Even when you try to select one of the points they all select.

If you are refering to a geometry point within a sketch, then that point only belongs to the sketch.

Sorry, It would be nice if I am wrong.

I know the topic is 2 years old, but here's how to rename the individual sketched datum points in WF4

Edit -> Setup --> Name --> Other

Now you can select the sketched datum points and rename them.

With your version, go to File>Properties>Names. Look to the right of "Names" for the word "change", click this for a list of the datum points to be renamed.

Thank you Kevin, that was just what i was looking for.

Can't vouch for Creo, but you can rename any of the single datum points in a feature containing several points.

In Creo parametric, you can rename the GEOM PNTS in the model properties window.
