Making A Part's Datum Plane Visible in Assembly

[terryphi]

Hey,

So, I have an airfoil which I'm putting into a hub. The hub has holes placed around its circumference which the blades go into. I want to constrain the angle of attack.

So, what I planned on doing was creating a datum plane in the hub part which is collinear with the hub center and the center line of the hole.
Then I would create a datum plane which is along the axis of my airfoil.

I'd then constrain the angle between these two datum planes to set my angle of attack.

my problem is, whenever I go into the assembly, the datum planes disappear.

Anyone have any ideas?

You can change the reference set to entire part or create a seperate reference set that includes just the datums.

Terryphi,

In most likely order (my opinion only)

1) Is the datum plane in the airfoil included in the reference set that is being used by the hub assembly?
2) Is the layer of the datum in the airfoil part currently displayed in the hub assembly?
3) Have datums or datum planes been hidden in the hub assembly?
