Positional measurements that I don't understand.

Hi Colleagues, I am currently working on one part which is a circle with three ears. It has positional measurements, which I had difficulty with. They are marked in red in the attached photos.
As far as I understand, if the reference point is the central circle, then the controlled elements should be controlled only along the PR, but I can not understand how to represent this in Pcdmis.
I hope you can give me some tips for this.
PS
I use 2014 version PCdmis, and xact.

Datum D what is this??! Dia 100? But it's dat A in my opinion...Alien

  • Datum D seems to be controlling position (rotation translation and size) of the three "teeth" on the outside of the 3x A datum holes.
    I presume your third snip with the 2x positions to 1.5, SHOULD be Profile (based on the bold lines) and those FCF's should reference Datums C and D.
    the engineer needs to go back to school, haa haa!
  • Not, there is not a single mention of D in the entire drawing. Your idea that positions at 1.5 should be a profile seems quite acceptable, but it will be difficult for me to explain to other people who do not know how we live in the world of geometry, why I did it this way, not like in the drawing.
    Sometimes it seems to me that it is easier to give people the numbers of what is on the drawing (whatever they are) than to think what the designer meant and then also prove something.
