Hi everyone,
It seems the discussion has continued without me...
I have created a simplified sketch showing the pertinent info and how it is currently called out by my customer.
Datum B is indeed a gear center. there are three gears in the train. The center distance is what needs to be...
It was 3 hours each Monday, from the local community college. that probably explains it.
I use Inventor 2011, I havn't tried it yet. I hope it will let me format it right!

Thanks for the info on editing. I made an even more generic print and will probably replace it just because.
My QA manager said the standard will be here today. I will go over those sections you mentioned to make sure I understand them correctly.
It's kinda funny, we had a 12 week GD&T class...
Hi guys,
Thanks for the input on this. I actually know that the customer has not specified this correctly. My question was how to keep the center distance controlled tighter than the radial location. Which the customer did not even have on his drawing.
Kenat's last post I think is the way to...
Hi Kenat
The problem with just adding another basic dimension is it would lock down the position radially as well and my customer does not want that. He's ok with the radial position moving, but the center distance of the gears needs to be controlled.
As far as the drawing goes I changed the...
I have a print from a customer when he only has the straight line distance from one hole (a datum) to the other holes
I know he doesn't care about the gear position per se, just the center distance so that the gear meshes correctly.
I have a CAD model so I can get the XY distance from hole...
