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 think I understand what you saying, I dont think it will do anything if you just do a BF rotate of -C-. It needs at least one more feature to determine a BF rotation.

    UNLESS he measures two lines of the Slot, and then uses them to do a BF rotate. That will work, although the Rotation most likely will be the same as if he created a Midline b/n the two lines and just rotated to it.
