Changing Datum

[mrcodewiz]

I am having a problem changing the datum in a drawing I have. I have set the datum in my .dra file and i can see that it is in the center of the part but when I go to the milling module, the (0,0) point is still where it was when I originally created the drawing. Has anyone else experienced this?

Disregard. I think that datum gets cemented in stone once you go into the milling side for the first time but I finally realized I could just move the entire drawing around the datum to place it where I wanted.

I occassionally get frustrated trying to figure out how to do things in Dolphin (mainly because this is really the only CAD app I have ever used). Just when I think I have found something it can't do I stumble across how to do it. This software has been worth every penny I paid for it.

Hi Mr. Codewiz.

There is an example of this as well on our new video forum.
