Is there a method of query selecting to edit a feature with an internal
datum? With the filter set on 'features' the feature dimensions show
for editing but not the internal plane that it was created on. Even when
the plane is unhidden it will not be picked as part of the feature.

Can this feature group be picked from the screen in the way an on-the-
fly plane was picked in 2001? I don't want to pick through the menu.

Thanks

Kenny, in WF & WF2 there is no more on-the-fly datum creation since you can create a datum at anytime. So as far as selecting them goes, have you tried via the modeltree? If you are trying to automate something via a mapkey or what not, try using the Find command and search for all datums that way it works pretty well.

Hope this helps, Glenn |B)

A manual I'm using still refers to datum planes created within the
feature as on-the-fly, and as a default these are hidden. The problem
is that when I try to edit the feature these planes to not present their
dims for modifying. It looks that you have to identify the feature,
look it up in the model tree, expand the group and highlight the plane
for editing. Is there a way of setting a selection filter, or query
selecting a GROUP? My point is that the internal plane the sketch uses
is as important as the geometry and all these dims should be available
(as its always been).

Thanks

Kenny, I see what you mean and your right the internal plane is important, but I tend to do just about everything from the model tree. I'm pretty sure that there is a config.pro setting for not hiding the datum planes when created inconjunction with a feature. I'm not at work right now, so I can't check it. I'll take a look at it on monday, because I'm pretty sure that might datums aren't hidden.

Later, Glenn |B)
