How to Hide Datum Planes in Creo 2.0?

Ok, this should be simple but after switching to Creo 2.0 I'm no longer able to hide datum planes that have been set to "Set Datum Tag Annotation" (see attached photos). I use this setting to display that datum planes in a drawing. When I'm modeling I would like to hide them because I find them a little bit annoying.

The obvious ways of hiding aren't working. Right click and hide doesn't work. Placed on a layer and hide the layer doesn't work.

I had no trouble hiding datum planes in Wildfire. Does anyone know why I'm unable to do so in Creo?

Thanks.

Put on layer then hide layer, works for me.

On our sustem this works only if you add the new layer and move the plane to that layer prior to making it a datum!
 
Hey thanks for the replies but I wasn't able to hide the Datums regardless of when I created a layer.

Like I said I've never seen this in previous versions. This may be related to which version you're running. I'm using Creo 2.0 M060. How about you?
 
We moved from M060 to M070 a couple of weeks ago! Haven't used datums in 2 months.

go to annotate tab
go to (detail tree)
find the datum_tag
you then erase or unerase the the datum tag
 
Thank you hobby_man.
