In your example, Datum A is the primary datum and, as used in the position
tolerance, establishes the orientation of the tolerance zone (parallel to datum A). The basic
dimension of 10 from datum A established the location of the tolerance zone from datum
plane A.
So what else is required? We need to know the horizontal location (left and right variations)
of the holes and some additional orientation requirements, because the holes could
theoretically spin on the plane of A. Datum references B and C could define that for us, but
we dont know where the holes are from B. The basic dimension of 10 is related to a nondatum feature (this makes it a floating basic).
This drawing will require a section view to show and dimension the relationship between the
two pairs of holes. This dimension must be a basic dimension and will allow us to remove the
horizontal basic 10.
