How to locate a part relative to the "center" of another part

[aardvarkdw]

I have a requirement from our engineers that a vertical rail, in an assembled machine frame, be located a certain distance from the center or mid-point of a horizontal rail regardless of the horizontal rail's true manufactured length.

How would you dimension/tolerance this per ASME Y14.5m-1994? I may be overlooking something simple but it is Friday and I can't seem to wrap my mind around this today.

Thanks for your help.

Just pretend it's in ASME Y14.5M-1994 and invoke paragraph 1.1.4. “…In other instances, figures are incomplete by intent…”

Or if you’re that concerned do your own sketch and if you’re really feeling that strongly have my original red-flagged.

The sketch show’s the items under debate, it’s not intended to be a complete drawing. I don’t see that adding either of those things will clarify its input to the OP.


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

Nice comeback Kenat - he kinda had that coming. I liked your sketch and didn't think it needed that kind of critique, either.
Keep up the good work, 'far from least...'
