Position to Cast Points at different Radial Distances

Feature control frame asks Position of ID to Top Plane -A- and -B-. Datum -B- is 3 datum target points all at different radial distances. Would Datum -B- just be reported as separate points or do you combine all 3 for a feature? Thanks for any help.

  • I know, that doesn't mean it's not on the rest of the drawing we didn't see. Maybe the drafter skipped from B to F.
    I just meant to "align" the part to the CMM it would be handy to use another datum, hopefully one that stops rotation. Once its aligned just measure it and move on with life. Unless he's using legacy that is.... 

    But does it matter if the circle constructed from 3 points is eccentric? Once the FCF is calculated will it matter in which order the features were picked up?

    Speaking of that, hope someone doesn't load that in the CMM in the wrong orientation.
