I've been using Pro-E for a number of years and always used the "break" or sketched a datum curve to represent cross hairs in circles. There's got to be a better way that I can't see. Anyone?
Go to 'View' - 'Show and Erase' and select the axis. It's a dash dot line with A.1 at the end of it. Select the appropiate one in the 'Show By' area in the window then select the view in your drawing.
Click on the Annotate Tab
Click on "Show Model Annotations"
In the "Show Model Annotations" box, click on the icon to the far right, the datum icon.
now click on a hole, the crosshairs will appear.
Not very intuitive, having to click on datums to show axis crosshairs.
I see your point. But I still think that "Datums" are Datums that I create or the standard 3 Planes. A hole axis to me is not a Datum until I designate it so.
What I can't figure is why this isn't a config.pro option, I would like to have crosshairs permanently and RMB it off when I don't require it.
