Export body with point in 3D space for use as datum

Hi all,

 

I am struggling to export my designed part with sketched points for use as datums.

 

I have sketched a point at the centre of a shaft. Tried exporting as STEP and IGES but when importing back into Fusion 360 (as well as other software packages) the created point is no longer there.

 

I created the point by first creating a midplane to section the shaft, then creating a sketch on this plane and sketching the point at the center. Any suggestions as to how to export this point?

 

Thanks,

Duncan

Hi,

Because sketch elements are not exported just set a small sphere.
