    Controlling Feature Location Between Hole Pattern Datum

    3DDave, That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for clarifying! I always thought you could only refer to dimensions within the same view. i.e. using "4X" in the bottom left view is incorrect because there are only 2 holes in that view. But it sounds like that's not the case. What is the rule for...

    Controlling Feature Location Between Hole Pattern Datum

    3DDave, Ah, so you're saying if I left the axes off the holes in the top and right view, then there would be less confusion. I always assumed it was standard to mark holes with an axis. I don't think it creates some sort of new requirement, does it? Right, but given the coaxial holes are part...

    Controlling Feature Location Between Hole Pattern Datum

    SeasonLee, I was under the impression that I wasn't making a coaxial feature callout based on the two reasons I listed. Mainly that the TP applies to the "2X Ø.092±.005" dimension, which are holes 1 and 3. In order for it to be a coaxial callout, the coaxial diameters would need to be in the...

    Controlling Feature Location Between Hole Pattern Datum

    First: I gave the holes numbers so we can reference them (thanks for the idea SeaonLee). SeasonLee, My intent was having holes 1 and 3 as datum feature A. I can see how one could interpret the drawing as you have shown, using holes 1 and 2 as the datum. I would argue the later interpretation...
