Datums In Parts and Drawings?

Datums In Parts and Drawings?

Datums In Parts and Drawings?

(OP)
Is there any quick way to get Datums in parts to show up in on the drawing without going in and adding all the annotations for each view.  

I have defined my datum annotations in the part in the dim-expert tab, but when I switch to the drawing, no annotations come up in the view.  Using model Items and selecting the datum annotations doesn't work either.  Is there something I'm missing.  What is the difference between annotation views and regular views?  Does anyone have a set system for having datums defined in the part, which then show up in all the applicable views in the drawing?

RE: Datums In Parts and Drawings?

(OP)
Okay so a little more digging in the options menu of some of the views and I'm able to display the datum annotations.  

But this only seems to apply to section and detail views.  In the regular projected views off my first model view I don't have the option to import or show annotations.  Has anyone else seen this or again have a system for defining datums in the part, which then show up in all the applicable views in the drawing?
