Hello all,

I need some help on dimensioning and inspecting a hole location with postional tolerance. Please see drawing. First is the proper use of GD&T, and if it is, how would we measure from datum B? I understand the concept of true position when the datums are all perpendicular to the feature, but the angle has me boggled. Thanks for your help.

No problem, looks like we understood each other just fine.
Allowing holes to "float" sideways and allowing them to "float" in direction of their depth maybe OK mathematically but definitely not the same functionally. :)
