Hi,

While making a drawing, I accidentally erased a datum plane. I want it back and it's not showing up, no matter what.

I Googled for the problem and it's solution, found tips on locating the feature on Drawing Tree and Unerase.

The problem is, The Datum is not shown in the drawing tree, but it is shown in Model tree. When I hover mouse (cursor) over features either from the Drawing Tree or Model Tree, It is highlighted in Green in the drawing, Except the datum plane which I want. (this datum plane, as previously said, exists in Model tree, but is not shown in Drawing Tree)

Can anybody please suggest a solution, workaround and/or any tip?

(I am using Creo 2.0)

Regards.

Try changing to the Annotate tab & looking in the drawing tree - Creo is not clever enough to show all unerased/deleted items on one drawing tree, you need to be in the correct tab to see things [banghead].
 
Thanks for the quick reply!

Umm.. I tried that, Creo shows only X and Z datum plane but not the Y! (Which is what I want) [mad]

 
Click the Annotate tab and then look in your Drawing Tree.. it should be nested in there somewhere.
If you don't see it in your model tree, then you most likely permanently deleted it.
 
Ok, I'll check that, If permanently deleted, is there any way to bring it back?
 
Remake it.
