I believe I've stumbled across an incorrect use of Runout to a Flat Datum-A-Plane.
Imagine a bolt with a flat head: this is called out as Dat -A-. It also has a Flatness callout to itself, which is fine. The threaded shaft has a Runout callout to Datum -A-. This I believe is incorrect. If the pitch diameter of the threaded shaft was described as Datum -A- with the flatened side of the bolt head having the Runout callout, this would be correct. Am I correct? I just want some verification.
. You need either a 1) single diameter of reasonable length, 2) surface first, then a diameter, or 3) two diameters apart from each other (like when your datums are called out A-B).
