    Reference Point System

    I don't see a problem with that, but I wonder if - functionally speaking - B and C have to be common tolerance zones. While B as a CZ could make some sense, I doubt that the C planes really require to make common contact.

    ISO 2768-1 TOLERANCE FOR DIMENSIONS BIGGER THAN 4000 mm

    ISO 2769:1973 is something completely different ("Modular units for machine tool construction"). What you mean is the German standard DIN 2769:2023-04 (that is the most recent). It is meant to be an addition to ISO 22081 and provide tolerance examples, but it is not yet adapted internationally.

    ISO 2768-1 TOLERANCE FOR DIMENSIONS BIGGER THAN 4000 mm

    No, and it shouldn't even be an issue anymore, since ISO 2768-2 has been withdrawn, and ISO 2768-1 might follow in the future. New projects should use ISO 22081, which supplies only the rules for a more unambiguous use of general tolerances but no values. It is now up the designer to define...

    Is there a modifier to make an ISO Datum be defined like an ASME Datum?

    The way a datum system is made in ASME vs. ISO is extremely similar. One difference is in fact how a plane is used. The latest ASME standard will use a so-called L1 algorithm as a default, which is basically a filtered Gaussian plane extended to one or more highest points. The older ASME...

    Drawing question - Dimensions

    You could simply extend the dimension lines to the elements on the other side.
