How to develop a simple datum and GD&T control scheme for a part from start
How can we establish the GD&T datum scheme for the purple-coloured part in this assembly?
What is the application?
It is a block which is mounted on to a plate (Yellow transparent) through a single fastener inserted into the central hole as shown.
There is a transverse hole which is smaller and used for function of mounting another part at the end.
