In Creo Parametric 11, you can now use a datum point as a reference to define an isoline curve with the By Reference option. The datum point must lie on the same surface as the curve, giving you enhanced control over the isoline’s position.

When the datum point is updated, the isoline curve automatically adjusts to the new reference location, provided it remains on the specified surface. Previously, only curves were available as references for defining isolines.
