Positional tolerance of features in a circular array at tangency 1

Looking for some suggestions...
I am having difficulty defining the positional tolerance of features in a circular array. In the attached illustration (first angle projection), the tangent point of each bump to the red diameter must lie in a tolerance zone defined by two cylinders 0.2 apart centered on datum axis A. I need to define this using ISO GPS rules.

Indicating the measured points must be taken at a tangency, seems to be the roadblock for me, but perhaps there is a better way to define this.

How about using a note? Every symbol in the standard is described that way.
 
I am not ISO GPS literate, so don't know if similar controls exist: But given Y14.5 conventions, you might consider using non-standard feature-of-size concepts. The "tips" define a circumscribed material boundary. And as 3DDave said, you might need some notes too.

Thank you, everyone. Notes are probably the way to go here if there are no specific ISO or ASME descriptors that could describe this.
 
jszymkowski,

Although I think I know what you mean, the way you've described the goal isn't entirely clear. On a real part, the bumps won't all be tangent to a single cylinder with a given diameter. I assume you actually want to control the point farthest from datum axis A on each bump; correct me if I'm wrong here.

Regardless, you may find some useful insights in the following thread:
