Converting datum points

I'm wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to convert datum point that are created from references to a specified coordinate system. That would really make my job less time demanding.


Today I create and modify a lot of parts by inserting geometry copiesfrom the assembly into the part and creating datum points by using the copied geometry as references. Since all the parts need to be independent from each otherThe next taks is to make all these points independent from the copied geometry. (this is done by measuring the distance (x,y,z) from the csys of the part and then creating datum point related to the csys).


there must be an easier way to do this. It shouldn't be that hard for the program to calculate the distance and make the datum point independent automaticly.


Please help
