Dragging and Dropping Embedded Datums
You can drag and drop a standalone datum into a feature if it is referenced by the feature or by another embedded datum of the same feature, and no other feature is using the datum as a reference. Similarly, you can also convert an embedded datum to a standalone datum using the drag-and-drop method and reorder the embedded datums in a feature or group, if required.
If you drag and drop a standalone datum into a feature that is in its collapsed state, the datum feature is embedded in the feature and is displayed as a feature sub-node. If the feature also includes other feature elements, such as sketches, annotation features, and groups of patterned, mirrored, or moved entities, as sub-nodes, the dragged-and-dropped datum feature is displayed in the order of display of sub-nodes that also includes the feature element sub-nodes.
If the feature is in its expanded state, you can place the dragged datum at a specified location within the constraints of the parent-child relationships, considering that the feature is a child or grandchild of the datum. All drag-and-drop, relocation, and reorder operations are performed within the constraints of the parent-child relationships that exist between the datum sub-nodes and the features, and in relation to other features in the model.
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.

Because of the parent-child relationship constraints, you cannot drag the embedded datums of patterned, mirrored, or moved group of features out of the group, above the cosmetic group header.
