To Convert a Standalone Datum to an Embedded Datum
1. Select a standalone datum feature on the Model Tree that is referenced by a feature. Additionally, a datum feature of the feature into which the standalone datum feature is to be embedded can also reference the standalone datum.
2. With the pointer placed over the selected datum feature on the Model Tree, hold down the left mouse button, and drag the datum feature into the feature that references it.
The target feature into which you want to drop the dragged datum, if found valid for embedding, is highlighted when you pass the pointer over it.
3. Release the left mouse button over the feature.
4. Click the plus sign (+) adjacent to the feature or group on the Model Tree to view the feature or group in the expanded state.
The Model Tree displays the datum feature that you have dragged into the feature or group.
* 
If the feature is not in a collapsed state, you can place the dragged datum as a sub-node of the feature at a location of your choice within the constraints of the parent-child relationship and following the order of display of the feature elements.
If the standalone datum feature that you converted into an embedded datum feature includes embedded datum features, these embedded datum features are also displayed as sub-nodes of the main feature in the Model Tree after the drag-and-drop operation.
The standalone datum feature that you converted into an embedded datum is in a hidden state.
The standalone datum feature that you converted into an embedded datum has a feature number that is lower than the number of the main feature in which it is embedded.
5. Select an embedded datum of the feature on the Model Tree, right-click, and choose Unhide from the shortcut menu to make the embedded datum feature visible in the graphics window. You can right-click again and choose Hide to hide the embedded datum feature.
6. Reorder the embedded datums within the feature, if necessary, using the same drag-and-drop method.
