Flexible component with profile of surface

@ Wuzhee
Kindly refer the attached ASME Y14.5:2018 standard.
As per the standard we can mentioned profile tolerance without leader line.
My understanding: Since it is a flexible part, even if we provide datum, we can not hold the datum.
So I mentioned like true profile variation shall be within 0.2 boundary.
Thank you.

That is a common practice to make a general callout in a title block that UOS All dimensions are basic followed by profile callout. In that case there is usually an ABC datum system.
What's not common practice is to just throw a fcf in the middle of nowhere and not stating that's a general callout.

If this is a flexible rubber part, can 0.2 mm be reliably held in the free state? (Check out paragraph 4.1
and then paragraph 7.20 and its sub-paragraphs from the Y14.5-2018 standard.)
Of course, it depends on the function and rigidity of the part -- I'm tossing tossing the idea out there.
Also...another way to accomplish your need is the "all over" modifier for profile. That doesn't need any datum references; see paragraph 11.3.1.5 and Fig. 11-10 from the same standard.

Please refer to 11.2.3 Profile Tolerances as General Requirements
When the profile tolerance feature control frame is placed in a general note or the general tolerance block, the tolerance applies to all features UOS.
For the sake of clarity, you can add a note like this:
UOS ALL SURFACES ARE DEFINED BY: |profile|0.2| ALL OVER
But be aware that profile without datums is form control only.

Drop the datum. If the profile is all over, then it already encompasses the datum feature surface. Thus, all surfaces are inherently toleranced to each other (for form, location, orientation, and size).
