view orientation
(OP)
Hi,
In attached simple sketch, when I dimension the relationship of the two datum holes, is there difference between the sheet #1 and #2?
Alternatively, if I orient the view so that the connecting line of the two holes is horizontal, would it be a better practice?
Thanks.

To me in sheet #1, it looks the horizontal surface is better candidate for a datum.

Profile note, is that the case from front to back also?

If the critical dimension for proper fit with mating parts is the absolute distance between the two holes then sht 2 is preferred. If however the horizontal distance between the two holes is the more critical dimension then sht 1 is preferred. This approach usually provides a very clear path to dimensioning and orientation issues.

Chris, I don't follow your question about profile note.
CheckerHater, good point.
