This command allows datum feature styles to be created / modified which will then be usable with the Datum feature command.

The datum feature style means the configuration of a tolerance reference (font, text height, style).

 

 

Creation stages:

 

Select Tools > Styles > Datum feature style... command from the drop-down menu.

 

  1. Enter a Name for this new reference tolerance style.

  2. Check Current style to allow this reference tolerance style to be proposed by default when creating a new datum feature symbol.

  3. Specify the base style on which to rely to create the new style (the settings of this basic style will be those proposed by default when creating the new style).

 

 

The modification of a datum feature style used as a basic style by another style will automatically cause the modification of the latter.
