Hi,

We have came across Basic Dimension in the drawing. We know there is no tolerance applicable for the Basic Dimension. But we dont know, Is the Basic Dimension to be captured in the dimension report of PPAP, to see what actual sample value is....
 
... there is no tolerance applicable for the Basic Dimension. ...

Is not quite a supportable assertion.

The Basic dimension is normally what you use to make a Solidworks model.
It is normally included as a reference in an inspection report,
and used as the basis for calculating the amount by which each measurement of an actual part deviates from the ideal.

I don't know from PPAPs.

Tolerances apply to the actual realization in a real part of the feature described by the basic dimension,
both by any general tolerances in the title block,
and perhaps more specifically by any GD&T notations associated with the feature.

Please go ahead and repost your question in the GD&T forum to start yet another argument,
and also please Report your post above and request that this discussion be removed,
since it doesn't appear related to Solidworks.
