Hello all,

I am fresh to GD&T and was wondering what a datum on a hole represents and what does it describe back to me. Image below

Although it's touching the wall of the hole, the "datum" is the imaginary, perfect axis (center) of that hole.
And, depending on how that datum C is referenced in a tolerance frame somewhere, the axis may have to be oriented to other datums such as A or B.
