Dimensioning from datum centerplane

Dimensioning from datum centerplane

Dimensioning from datum centerplane

(OP)
Can features be dimensioned from the centerplane of a true geometric counterpart of a non-cylindrical feature of size datum?

RE: Dimensioning from datum centerplane

May get more bites at forum1103: Drafting Standards, GD&T & Tolerance Analysis

Can you define what you mean?

Certainly you can center other features, or patterns of features on the "center line" of the datum feature (not sure that wordings quite right) ASME Y14.5M-1994 section 5.- figure 5-4 & section 5.13 - figures 5-59 & 5-60.

Are you saying you want to offset things from the center?

KENAT, probably the least qualified checker you'll ever meet...

RE: Dimensioning from datum centerplane

(OP)
KENAT - You are correct.  I want to dimension non-symetrical features from the centerplane rather than an edge of the datum feature.

Thanks,
