SOLIDWORKS 2018 What’s New – Movable Datum Target – #SW2018

When Creating a datum target, it may become necessary to move the datum target for readability. New to SOLIDWORKS 2018, you can now create movable datum targets with the Datum Target Tool.

To move horizontally, you can select the “horizontal” option in the property manager. Here you can toggle between left and right.
