GD&T Daums display.

[Nicholas.w]

I have a part and am trying to get the datums to display with the filled in "origin" triangle and leader (as shown below in pic 1).but without attaching it to a dimension. (this is an assembly drawing) If i don't attach it to a dimension i get this weird centerline axis (as shown below in pic 2).

How can I change this?

if its changeable... Does there need to be a dimension in this view to attach it in that manner?

To be clear. This is what i want. (I erased the 1.25 dim using paint).

still no worky...

I read thru the other dtl options and I didn't see any other settings that this setting might be dependent on...

did you save it in the directory where the model & drawing are? just a thought


it will create a file (active drawing.dtl)

As said gtol_datums std_iso


Create the axis, make it set datum, leave it free. Then in drawing show/erase the axis and right-click on it, properties, and select on geometry from the list below and select the circle egde:

I noticed that there are some cases when this is not working, for example when you have 2 holes in line. But for a single hole thru your part should work.


For when this is not workingI make a plane tangent to that hole then make the plane set datum.

Try on geomerty as reference, then placement click on the datum. btw this is on wf3.

Yes I saved the file.

This worked! funny thing is I tried it yesterday but it wouldn't attach. the catch is (im working with an Assy drawing) you have to create the datum in the individual part. not at the assy level. otherwise I couldn't get it to attach.

Were on WF2.0. sorry can't try this.

Thank's All
