Ghost datum from merge showing up.

Ghost datum from merge showing up.

Hello all,

I have created an assembly in which I merged parts "Part1" and "Part2" into "Part3".

Both 1 and 2 have datums A,B and C. However. I did not want them to show up in 3. Therefore I unchecked the copy datums box in the merge define feature menu.

On the merged part I successfully inserted datums A and C but I am failing on the B one. It shows up as an axis in layer tree and it is coming from part 2.

How can I get rid of it. A, B, C on final part are different than on original parts.


Thank you?

Dan

from the Part3 use the Find option to locate the datums A, B & C, then select them and rename to something else.

this rename will not propagate to the original parts. So now you will be able to create the Datums A, B & C.
