Editing and Redefining Features with Embedded Datums
You can edit the references, dimensions, and definition of the feature with the embedded datums as well as the references, dimensions, and definition of the individual embedded datums. You can also delete the main feature or its embedded datums and view information about the feature, the embedded datum, the model, or the parent-child relationship. Select the feature or the embedded datums and right-click to access the shortcut menu commands such as Delete, Suppress, Edit Definition, Edit References, Information, and Hide or Unhide, or use the same commands on the Model tab Operations group, and the View tab Visibility group.
Editing References
While editing the references of the main feature, you can replace the embedded datum references. The embedded datums that are not used as references by the feature are converted to standalone datum features. While editing an embedded datum, you can only replace the used references of the embedded datum that you are editing.
Editing Dimensions
While editing the dimensions of a feature with embedded datums, the dimensions of the embedded datums and the feature are visible. However, while editing the dimensions of an embedded datum, only the dimensions of the embedded datum are visible.
To view all dimensions of the group, you must edit the references, definition, or the dimensions of the group header.
Redefining Features
While redefining a feature, the embedded datums are displayed as nodes above the feature, and the corresponding datum creation tools are available so that you can use the embedded datums to create additional asynchronous datums as in the creation of features. You can roll back the main feature, but you cannot roll back the embedded datum features. The structure of the feature with the asynchronous datums is maintained after the redefinition.
