    Datum Reference Frame for Position Control on Axisymmetric Part

    Burunduk, does treating each dowel hole separately change my datum simulator if they are still both controlled with the 2X position tolerance to A? Or is it just a preference on notation? I kind of like showing the pattern as a single datum so it's clear they hold equal sway in determining the...

    Datum Reference Frame for Position Control on Axisymmetric Part

    Great reply, chez311. Thank you. Sounds like we are in agreement that with the datum references at RMB there is effectively no difference in the position control of the outer diameter for A|B vs A|B|C for this situation. Something about there being no difference really threw me off so I wanted...

    Datum Reference Frame for Position Control on Axisymmetric Part

    This is a fairly basic question but I've struggled to find a reference discussing it. So I've got a stepped cylindrical part that looks like a big tophat bushing. The primary datum is the "flange" face of the tophat that seats against a plate. The secondary datum is the hole through the center...
