True position using z axis and angle

I am measuring this part right now this is a cylinder about 3 inches tall. The od is dat-b. The top plane is dat-a and dat-c is a slot in the center of the part. The part has 4 counter bore holes along the side of it every 90 degrees. Here is a picture of what the result looks like, and i know its wrong.
Do i need the od dat to be a cylinder or a circle?
Does it matter if its a constructed cyl or an auto cyl?
My dat c is a constructed width, should it be the line instead?

I added two pictures if that helps

please help!!

    I can only go by, by what the OP said. He said that Slot is -C-, which mean he cannot perform a BF. If he Rotates to a Slot, then does a BF rotate only, then the Rotation to a Slot is no longer Exist, it will re rotate it to Best Fit . Which is clearly not the FCF according to the OP. Also if you only select -C- for the BF rotation, I am not sure it will rotate at all, since it needs at least one more feature to determine the BF.


    Not 100% sure on the last part, still it is not allowed with having -C-
