Datum Targets

You can attach a datum target and symbol to a model face or edge in any document.

To create a datum target and symbol:

  1. Click Datum Target Tool_Datum_Target_Annotation.gif (Annotation toolbar), or click Insert > Annotations > Datum Target.
  2. Set the properties in the PropertyManager.

    Example:

    datum_target_symbol.gif
    Target Symbol PM_Datum_Target_Symbol.gif and X Target Area PM_Datum_Target_Area_X.gif selected

    If you clicked No target symbol PM_Datum_Target_Symbol_No.gif in the PropertyManager, click only once to place the annotation.
