Description

The Part DatumLine command creates a datum line object that can be attached to other objects. A datum line is one of several datum objects. A datum object is typically used to attach multiple other objects to. If the position or orientation of a datum object changes, all objects attached to it will follow.

A datum object can also provide a geometric reference for a feature or operation. Depending on its type it may for example be used as a direction vector, a rotation axis or a mirror plane.

Usage

See Part CoordinateSystem.

Notes
