Rotating Object/ Datum plane issue

[AAREng]

I am having trouble trying to figure out a way to get the datum planes on pro/e to remain visible when rotating the figure with the middle mouse button. This issue happens anytime I try to rotate the working area. This happens when there is a solid or if it is empty. I can't seem to find an option to keep this from happening can someone give me some advice

That is done for performance reasons. Also, the names displayed with a datum are redisplayed after you release the mouse button and are regenerated in the viewing plane.

Is there a way I can change this option?

Set spin_with_part_entities to "yes".

Hope that helps,

Yes, this was very helpful. In the top menu follow the steps shown below.

View > Display Settings > Model Display > Display While Re-orienting > (check) Datums

For anyone who needs more detailed information!

Does the Help menu work now in Pro/E? Or does it just link to this Forum?

Yeah like Looslib said the datum hide is to improve performance. This is the same reason that Hidden Line display is not dynamically calculated and the Part Displays all edges in Wireframe while spinning unless you set
FastHLR to Yes

This option can be found on the Environment dialog Tools > Environment
Then all hidden line calculations are done live you'll see edge change to hidden when it goes behind other geometry.

According to SolidWorks for their system showing in Shaded Mode is easier than Wireframe for display purposes.
Ben I was wondering what your thoughts on this were, Or if UGNX handles graphics display similarly.

Don't have access to NX anymore. WF3, 4, 5, Elemenets/Pro 5 and creo 1 only. Just had AutoCAD 2011 installed for integration testing with WC10.
