General profile and draft angle 1

A feature is defined based on its general profile tolerance (lets say a note such as: profile within 0.30 to A, B and C) which is the best way to combine its “basic” size defined in the model with the draft angle specified in the general note?

Is it allowed to have a basic dimension with a draft angle?

I was trying to find a good academic example of the above issue within Y14.5 and also Y14.8 with no success.
Any “do this” example/ template I can follow you can recommend would be greatly appreciated.

Chez311,
I am glad someone else beside me found some problems when those two are combined together.
Do you have a drawing you can post (for academic purpose only) from your research? I am interested to learn how someone else did it (combine) and how to read it in multiple ways (except the ways I questioned in my earlier posts few days ago)

Thank you for your clarification and opinion about this subject.
 
Chez311,
With no doubt you know what are you talking about, but could you see this approach being forbiden by the stnandard?

Still not convinced on why the method could not be clarified and where the multiple legal interpretations are coming from?

What are those ways and how a profile can be read in multiple ways? As far as I know the profile - in general- is one of the most robust defined GD&T callouts. And not " beat" the OP but I don't know if his/her explanation is good enough.
