Create custom Datum identifier symbol

[Anonymous]

Hello, is there a way to create a custom datum identifier in Inventor 2018, as shown below? I saw that I can use custom blocks in baloon styles, but not in Datum Id.

Also if possible, insert this custom Datum Id in the Symbols window.

Hi! You will need to create a sketch symbol. There isn't a custom shape for Datum ID symbol.

Many thanks!

Thank you @johnsonshiue. I don't see it as a problem, but if I insert too many blocks, will the drawing start getting slow?

Hi! I don't believe there should be any performance impact. The sketch symbols are like any annotation object (dimension, symbols). Unless you have thousands of them, which is very rare, it should be fine.

Many thanks!
