Multiple datum form 3 cylinders

Hi all, I am struggling with this drawing. There is multiple datum AM-BM-CM/D what represent intended hard gage. Datum A to C are from cylinder, datum D from two flats bottom. Do you have an idea how to setup multiple datum with modifiers?
Picture is unreadable, so datum A coming from cylinder on the bottom left, datum B on the bottom right and C from cylinder top right. Datum D is simple one.

    Between the drawing and your comments I can see which cylinders are datum A-C, but it is unclear what datum D is. Further, just identifying which features are the datums is not enough information to offer you any real advice.

    What feature(s) are you trying to verify to the datums?

    What is the exact FCF in question?

    The order of the datums is very important. If you believe the intent is to represent a hard gage, perhaps you should consider making or purchasing hard gage(s), sometimes that is the not only the most economical, but also the surest way to ensure compliant parts.
