Hi,

I'm looking for a way to place gtols in like the one in the picture. Have been looking for this a long time, but never found how to do it.

Picture is a bit fuzzy, but you get the gist of it, right? I want to link the gtol directly to the reference.

    The reason you can't do it is because it is no where near ASME practice.

    Possibly should look more like this  (90 degrees rotated).

    Depending on your requirements, you would make the surface on the A dimension as datum A and the you would hold your axis (pin or hole) perpendicular to that surface (image below).  Or opposite, you would set your axis (pin or hole) to datum A and then hold the surface to be perpendicular to the datum.

    β€ŒIt was allowed at one time but discontinued at some point not sure when. I've only seen it once and it was on a drawing from the late 1980's.
