Hello all.
I have been seeing this type of callout on many customer drawings lately. The customer is a large company with a reputation for high standards of quality. I know what I think of this type of callout, but need a sanity check. Please share your thoughts... Thanks!

RE: Hello all. I have been seeing this
Is this allowed for any other control other than runout? I will be trying to find examples in the standard this afternoon. I guess I'm going to have to get my head around this concept of a datum relative to itself...
We have already talked with the customer regarding this, and they agreed that there may be a better way to define the part. I do want to be on solid ground though with any suggestions we submit to them.
Thanks again!

I cannot think of an example where this could apply in a profile. I would love to see the actual usage of this geo tol. :)

Also I agree with fcsuper that, “you can reference the a feature's center line as a datum while still controlling that feature's surface. It is allowable, but not very clear, since technically, Datum D has two different meanings at that point.”
