Use of Equal Space as a basic dimension

[ringman]

Are there users of the ASME Y14.5M who have had occasion to apply Equal Spaced to a holes located on a basic dimensioned diameter? I had thought that was an antiquated and retired term for dimensioning.

And if you have, did you put the block around it to indicate it as a 'basic locator'?

Agreed it's poor practice, still assuming a BASIC caviot note, a textual note pointing to a hole could (and should) read: 6X Ø .375 THRU ON Ø 8.875 BC.

Of course PC, PD and DP normally relate to threads and gears vs bolt circles.
