# Datum

Datum commands return Feature objects and inherit the methods of Feature objects. For more details, see Feature commands. Datums can be created using methods on a Part or Assembly object.

Each command also creates a Datum object in the corresponding datum repository. The Datum object is used as an argument to other commands, such as Part and Partition commands.
