Datum Target Leaders

All,


Prior to wf2, set datum targets with a leader displayed with an"X" by default. Currently wf2 default datum targets display with an arrow.


Question: Is there a way to show/create/modify a wf2 datum target to display an "X"?


TIA

You may try checking the gtol_datum setting in the drawing.dtl file. Setting it to std_ansi or std_asme will give a target with the X. For existing targets on a drawing select the target and you should see a snap point on the end of the arrow. Position your cursor over the snap point and right mouse click>arrow options to change the arrow style.
 
I tried your suggestions with no success. The arrow style list doesn't havethe "X" as an option. Any other ideas?
 
The reason for my previous question was that if you create the target referencing a draft datum when you try to edit the arrow style the options Cross and Cross with arrow are not available.
