Hello
Does anybody have a lot of expereince placing geometric tolerances and datums in parts - as opposed to drawings. This functionality was very easy to add in Pro/ENGINEER.
I'm using SolidWorks 2007, but should move to 2009 quite soon, so perhaps it's possible to do stuff in 2009 that I can't do now?
Firstly, if I define a plane as a datum and add the symbol in the part, I can't seem to move the datum symbol along the plane on the drawing sheet - any ideas?
I have successfully added "form" geometric tolerances in the part, and they show okay on the drawing and can be moved. However, if I want to add a positional tolerance in the part, I can't seem to add it to a dimension, ony a surface - any ideas.
Thanks in advance
Dave
