Datum B is 2 points with car coordinate system. How to setup and verify the datums?

Hello everybody

I got a blue printing, the datum A is a plane, datum C is a round slot with center car coordinate system, but the datum B is 2 points with car coordinate system. I think I should move the 0,0,0 to center of C and calculate the datum B1 and  B2 by combination Datum B with Datum C. Later verify B1 B2 with edge point.  right?

  • Ok, I see. 

    For me, I usually rotate/move the cad origin to center of datum C. sometime I have to rotate the coordinate system to have part sitting position vertical or horizontal. 

    Then I will use read point to get center of Datum C and center of an other hole close by. With 2 points read in, I could easy start DCC with circle C , then plane A , datum B is the last one, Since I use read point, I need to calculate B1 B2 locations. 

    I think you will manual check 3-2-1 with Datum A B C ...
