Repetitive Datum callout

[ashivu123]

If the part is complex shape drawing is more than one sheet, Datum’s can be called out more than once to make it clearer. When calling same datum in other view should have “Ref” under datum callout?. I have drawing in which Datum A is called out with Flatness in view. In other Just Datum A is called out same surface.

Datum A will have Flatness qualifier and Same Datum A in other view will not have qualifier. Does it will not leads to confusion?

 

[CheckerHater]

The better way to say it that in one view datum feature identifier is attached to FCF and in the other view it is attached directly to the feature.
Datum feature still datum feature.

Doesn't need to all that complex, multiple uses of the datum tags in different views really helps with visualization of the part. This is not over dimensioning, no () or REF used.
