Datum Flags don't follow ASME Y14.5M

S1mon

I'm just starting to play with drawings, so maybe I'm missing something, but a couple things with datum flags are jumping out at me:

I should be able to add a flag to a linear dimension like this to indicate that I want a datum at the center of the feature dimensioned by the 4.3. I would expect the flag and triangle to replace the arrow on that side of the extension line. Instead I get this messy behavior:


Here's the standard:

I can get it to do what's shown here with 🄰 in figure 3-4 (a), but I can't do the same as what's shown with 🅂 or 🄲.

I should be able to add a flag to a diameter dimension extension line like it shows in figure 3-4 (d).

@S1mon I created a support ticket for this.  We should have an improvement that covers this case.

Thanks for creating the ticket.

@PeteYodis for case (d) in the image above as well?

@dgodfrey I created a ticket for you as well.    Case d is a separate improvement planned for radius and diameter dimension cases, as well as hole callouts.  The work around for now is to attach directly to the edge in the view  - which is a valid method as well, but just not as compact.
