Can a centerline be contructed and used as a tertiary datum?

Hello all I'm wondering if a centerline can be constructed from a basic dimension
and utilized to make a centerline to make as datum C. Datum A is the face of the part that will mate with another in assembly ( the most critical) Datum B is a plane perpendicular to datum A. Datum C however isn't properly callout and is a an imaginary Datum "floating" exactly in the center of this part as a centerline. I just want to know weather anyone has seen or even constructed a centerline for a datum from a BASIC dimension (which in this case the basic dimension is about the only possible feature to even construct this datum).

  • Tank you very much at first I thought it was the two .227-.233 holes but then realized
    they were being dimensioned from Datum C so those couldn't be it. I didn't know it was possible to create a Datum from a BASIC dimension. Thank you for reiterating and agreeing that this is the proper way to construct my program.
