It's just mind-boggling, and then there is a whole other layer of confusion when it comes to showing these things on a drawing. The only thing that works for that is the global "Annotation Display" toggle switch. Now at least you can hide the plane but the indelible tag remains. If you are working with legacy data, then it's more painful because as you noticed there isn't much "automation" available when working with combination states.Īlso, if you change to "On Geometry" placement for the datum tag, then the option of "Displaying Datum Graphics" becomes available in the edit properties of the datum plane dialog-box. This way they will only show up if the "Annotated" state is activated, and by default, they will stay hidden (because they will not be added to the inactive "Default All" state). In our start-parts, we have a combined state called "Annotated" defined and users are instructed to change to it when placing their GD&T information such as set datum tags. I'm still confused as to what is the point of having the functionality to "erasing" annotation elements instead of simply removing them from a combined state. You can get layers to control the visibility of the tagged datum planes, but only if your datum tag style is that old-fashioned box and two dashes around the datum symbol.įor the newer style, I'm afraid the "correct" (ahem, PTC approved) method is to use combination states and the tools under the Annotate tab.

To turn on: You HAVE to select Annotate tab, right mouse button on newly created datum in the Detail Tree, and select Unerase.To turn off: You HAVE to select Annotate tab, right mouse button on newly created datum in the Detail Tree, and select Erase.Hide the layer that the new datum plane resides. ![]() And those flanges had mounting holes in them, I would/could use the single planar datum from two surface features and call them e.g. ![]()
