RE: Moving a Datum Feature Symbol Alond GD&T Frame

Are you SURE that you saw someone do that?

RE: Moving a Datum Feature Symbol Alond GD&T Frame

You can move the entire GD&T frame at times (depending upon the geometry to which the foot is associated) and the Datum Feature Frame will move with it, but you currently cannot slide the Datum Feature Frame along the GD&T frame. It places it there automatically.

As a workaround, you'd have to draw a line exactly on top of the GD&T frame where the Datum Feature frame is based and then hide the line or move it to a non-visible layer.

RE: Moving a Datum Feature Symbol Alond GD&T Frame

(OP)
I'm pretty sure I did. Im having an issue in drafing, when for some reason the datum symbol keeps snapping to the end of the GD&T frame. So thats why I was wondering if there was a way to just slide the symbol and figure it out.

RE: Moving a Datum Feature Symbol Alond GD&T Frame

If you could, you cannot now in NX8 - I can't do it. Without being able to work on the same file you are, it's going to be a bit difficult to diagnose any possible issue or solution.

Have you tried recreating the GD&T frame? Are you placing a new datum feature symbol or editing the origin/reassociating an existing datum feature symbol? If you're doing either of the last 2, have you tried placing a new datum feature symbol?
