Converting Sketch Point to Datum points

Converting Sketch Point to Datum points

RE: Converting Sketch Point to Datum points

Right Click hte sketch points and select Geometry option instead of Construction which is what the point type is if they do not show as PNT#s on screen.
This can be Toggled back and forth just like Reference and Driving Dimensions can as long as you are in Wildfire 5 Point 0 or greater (Creo #.#) etc.

For Dimensions with Equal Relation E1 E1, E2 E2 set you can convert the dimension E# symbol you want to be a driving dim to a strong dimension and convert the previous driving dim to be Reference in much the same way.

Geometry <--> Construction
Driving <--> Reference

Wow, I didn't know you could do that. Been using the program for three years now. This helps immensely, thank you.
