Doubt about True Position


Recommended Posts

I don't see anything wrong with these call outs.

They each have their own Datum Reference Frame and therefore are not required to meet any simultaneous requirement.

Taken individually there is no issue with either one. They are inter-related to one another due to the fact they both use the other as their secondary datum reference, however that should not pose a problem so far as they fall within the specified tolerance zone.

It appears that Datum C is essentially controlling the location of Datum B, so as Datum C moves within its 0.100 zone, the 0.015 tolerance zone for Datum B must 'follow' it around.

This seems like it would make sense in order to create a pattern to mount something, and allow the entire pattern to shift around while maintaining positioning to one another. Usually this is handled using composite true position but this method seems to accomplish the same thing.
Why would I need to check the position of B to C? There is a +/- dimension from one edge and a BASIC dim to another edge(?). A position of B to A controls the orientation. And, a position of C to A and B controls the orientation and location. I think a position of B to C is the tail wagging the dog....

The relationship between datum features to be considered are the:

(a) form of the primary datum feature(s) and/or the location between features in a pattern to establish the primary datum.

(b) secondary datum features' orientation and/or location as applicable, to higher precedence datums.

(c) tertiary datum features' orientation and/or location to higher precedence datums.
