    Basic locating angle without FCF, yes/no?

    See attached drawing for reference. (assume this is in a drawing with title block tolerance and all other features properly defined) A colleague asserts that this is acceptable, making the angle basic and nothing else. Plus no FCF controlling location. I'm not sure of the reasoning behind this...

That datum is referenced by another cylinder elsewhere in the weldment, making a side of that cylinder parallel to the datum. Is this an allowable call out? I'm thinking the datum and feature...

    Can symmetry be implied without GD&T?

    A part has a defined center line, features are symmetrical about that center line. Distance between the symmetrical features (tapped holes) is important. Is a dimension mandatory from the center line to a feature on one side? Or is it allowable to leave that dimension out to imply symmetry and...
