The document describes new and enhanced features in Creo 4.0 for 2D detailing, including: 1. Enhancements to datum feature symbols, targets, and geometric tolerances to allow quicker creation of standards-compliant annotations. 2. Improved dimensions with enhanced text and orientation control. 3. Ability to embed images and replace drawing view models with related models to leverage existing drawings. 4. Support for non-linear cross-hatching styles and new text/symbol fonts.

– Automatically names the datum feature to the next available
name in sequence (A, B, C…)
• Standalone drawing annotation
– Can show datum feature symbol from model
– Can create as a drawing annotation
• Additional text
– Additional text placed adjacent to the symbol
– Supports standards

AUTOMATIC NAMING OF DATUM FEATURE SYMBOLS
Automatically take the next available name in the standard
sequence (A, B, C, …)
– Fills a gap if datum name is missing in the sequence
– User can still modify names as needed
Syntax-checking of names following ASME Y14.5 standard
– Non-standard names are identified in the UI and graphics
Benefits
• Save time by not having to keep
track of the next name in the
sequence
• Comply with GD&T standards

STANDALONE DRAWING ANNOTATION
Datum feature symbol is a standalone annotation
– Does not require a plane or axis in the model or in the
drawing
Two methods of adding datum feature symbols to a drawing:
– Can show datum feature symbol from model
– Can create as a drawing annotation
Benefits
• Flexible and fast creation of
symbols in the drawing
• Allows drawing creation
without modifying model
• Conform to GD&T
standards
