Can I attach my datum to a dimension as per ASME Y14.5?

I have been unable to perform this action in a drawing in Onshape. It seems I am forced to position the datum and the dimension separately which can make the communication less clear and the drawing more cluttered.
Am I missing something? Or is it simply not possible?

Filtering!! Thank you!
FeatureScript + Render Studio updates 😍
Hey! The "trying to select multiple parts at a time but it was selecting faces" issue is fixed!
Re: INTRODUCTION TO PART STUDIOS - ADVANCED FEATURES / EXCERCISE:FUNNEL
It's really hard to grab the right profile from sketch 1 without also grabbing the inner loop. Either select the sketch from the Features list or check off "disable imprinting."
Re: inaccurate volume and surface area calulations
That's 'cause the smaller cube isn't actually a cube. You'd want to constrain the sides to be equal.

Re: FeatureScript request: Corner fillet for CNC machining
The "corner overcut" is exactly what I was looking for, thanks!
I didn't know the name, so thanks, als for the Laser Joint tip.
Re: Request: Manage Configurations in Drawings
Are all the views using the same configuration? If so try switching to "sort by reference" instead of "sort by sheet.
Otherwise you might be able to create a derived part with just a simple dropdown list of configurations that sets the config variable combinations you want (assuming you have a "subset").
Something like this where the "master" model has infinite configurations but the "standard sizes" part only has a few combinations of configs to pick from.

Re: Rotating a line around an axis with FeatureScript
@aleksi_hermonen.
Couldn't help myself but test it. this function ends up working exponentially and gets away from you rather quickly in the higher values.
circular pattern 2 is reapplied each and every time within Circular pattern 1 so it keeps adding a new line at a new angle, but measured from the original top line. (not from the line next to it)
Re: My sheet metal parts won’t sheet metal
The 'Faces or sketch regions to thicken' selection needs to have the cylinders selected there too.
My sheet metal parts won’t sheet metal
I’m trying to make a sheet metal part, and nothing is working. It was a sheet metal part, then I turned it into a part, now I’m trying to turn it back into a sheet metal part. After I select all the flat faces, then select the edges or cylinders to bend it makes them there own parts, like in the last picture. If I select all the faces, including bends, and press include bends, it deletes the part. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Thanks in advance!
