Adding X to drawing view

I am trying to detail a drawing view of an assembly. There is a long seam between two of the parts. I am trying to put a "X" at 1", 16",

28", and 41" to indicate spot welds. Is there a way to do this and have the "X"s move if I move the view? Thanks, Brian

Datum targets can be attached to points, but it can be tricky getting them to attach the way you want.

To make entities "stick" to a view, right-click the view and select "Set view focus" before creating the entities.

RMB on the view and expand the menu there will be the option to Lock View Focus. Once the focus is locked you are drawing on the view and everything will move with the view. You could also accomplish this by sketching it in the model and extruding surfaces Then to get the surfaces to show in the drawing you Insert>Model Items>Surfaces. Or without surfaces you could just show the sketch in the desired views.

Regards,

Thanks for the help. I'm going with sketching in the assembly, then showing the sketch in the view. The "view focus" tip will come in handy too.
