True Position v Legacy - Explaining to People.


The above callout is on my drawing and it seems to be how our designers tolerance everything.
I need help explaining to designers about GDT in terms they can understand.
My datums have been generated using 3 generic planes with the correct vectors ie 1,0,0 / 0,1,0/ & 0,0,1 from 0,0,0, origin.
Sample below,
F1 =GENERIC/PLANE,DEPENDENT,CARTESIAN,$
NOM/XYZ,<0,0,0>,$
MEAS/XYZ,<0,0,0>,$
NOM/IJK,<1,0,0>,$
MEAS/IJK,<1,0,0>​
I can now calculate my true position for each individual hole.

If I use legacy dimensions without datum ref I have to use ±0.125
​Is this the correct way to do this​.​
