I have two basic dimensions that are out in of tolerance in discus, but the true position is in, does that make the Basics acceptable.

Linear Dimension - Basic: = 9.218 in 9.21824

Linear Dimension - Basic: = 1.061 in 1.06103

True Position: <= .0005 in |⌖|⌀.0005Ⓢ|A|BⓈ| 0.00012

Basic dimensions have no tolerance, therefore they cannot be out of tolerance.
 
Agree with 3DDave. Basic dimensions are, in simplest terms, reference dimensions, in your case, of the true position callout.
 
Agreed with both responses. To add to the question, what do you do when all the dimensions pulled from the MBD are all basic?
 
Seems to be a poorly defined drawing, no? Basic dimensions are used as references to a defined feature. If there are no defined features, then what's the relevance of the drawing?
 
Agreed its a very poor drawing. I am not sure what to do with it as its a customers MBD and they have specific documents to crate a drawing to, just doesn't make sense. As for the relevance of the drawing i asked the same question of them and to use the positional tolerancing noted in the Parts list general notes. Which also doesn't make sense to me.
