Datum plane size resize

Hi all,

Is it possible to change the size of the datum planes? I know that if your sketch is larger than the default size, the plane will automatically enlarge, but if say you were drawings something tiny, the planes are way massive.

Just thought that with large planes everywhere in an assembly, its difficult to see which plane belongs to what part.

Cheers,
David
 
David,


You bet. I'm goingto assume you're on WF3. Select the dtm plane> RMB>edit definition. There is a tab Display there that will allow you to resize the plane, but you have to checkthe box Adjust outline. The four corners are highlghted, and you can use these as handles to resize the planes.
