To Convert an Embedded Datum to a Standalone Datum
1. Click the plus sign (+) adjacent to a feature on the Model Tree to view the embedded datum references of the feature in the expanded state.
2. Select an embedded datum of the feature.
3. Hold down the left-mouse button and drag the embedded datum feature to the Insert Here prompt on the Model Tree.
4. Release the left-mouse button.
The datum feature is placed as a standalone feature at the location where you have released the left-mouse button.
The Model Tree displays the datum feature as a node parallel to the main feature.
The datum feature is displayed in the graphics window.
 
* If you drag a datum sub-node outside and below the main feature, the main feature and all its sub-nodes are selected, dragged, and located below other feature nodes on the Model Tree.
