Dimensioning Datum Targets

[chancey]

Does anyone have any advice on dimensioning datum targets on drawings? Sometimes I’ll get a few dimensions in and crash and other times I can’t even dimension to them - even with the filter on. I think SW needs to do some serious work here.

Thanks in Advance

I've had trouble with this, as well. What worked best for me was to draw and dimension a point and attach the datum target to the point. It's been a while, so I forget exactly how this is accomplished.

I actually draw the point in the part model as a separate sketch, then show the sketch in the drawing. Works pretty good for me.
