How to setup datum ABC from my sketch?

Hello all.

I am working on a seat structure and try to figure out how to setup datum ABC: Datum A consists of 2 surfaces around 2 circle or round slot A1, A2, both on one side. B consists of 2 circle or round slot B1 B2, on each side of structure. 

Since the whole part could rotate around B1-B2, so the C is 2 points C1 and C2 with dimensions. I am not sure how I should choose the level:  1, level on datum A and rotate B1 to C1, but could have issues with B1 and B2.

2. level B1-B2, rotate (B1+B2)/2 to (C1+C2)/2. Transfer to A and B1?  I like to second one, but not sure what is the right solution.

Thank you

  • Regardless of the FCF the Datums as defined over constrain the part. I have had the same issue myself, use a functional approach, Level Y axis through B1 and B2 and origin X and Z, next rotate about Y axis to C midpoint then find the "highest Y" point out of all the A points and set Y origin. Create whatever DATDEF 's you need for the FCF but you will need and do the GD&T to current alignment
