Datum Targets now available in SOLIDWORKS MBD 2021

In SOLIDWORKS MBD 2021, Datum Targets are now available. Previously only Datums were available,  but now in MBD 2021, Datum Targets can be added to a Datum.

The Datum Target command is available from the MBD Dimensions tab but is greyed out if no Datums are defined.

Once invoked there are various options for creating Datum Targets. There are options for controlling the Style and Settings of the Datum Target.

Datum Target Style and Settings

The settings consist of Target Symbol, Target Area/Size and Leader Style. A description of all the settings can be found in SOLIDWORKS by clicking on the “?” icon.

Note: If multiple Datums are present, the Datum Target will be associated with the selected Datum. If no Datum is selected, you will be prompted to select one.
