  1. Delete the last two dimensions of the horizontal ordinate group (3.837 and 4.076).
    Start a new Detail view that includes the holes those dimensions called out, as shown in
    Figure 23.23. Place the detail view above the main view.

  2. Right-click the zero for the horizontal ordinates and select Add To Ordinate. Place
    the two ordinate dimensions in the detail view.

  3. Use the Geometric Tolerance tool to make a Flatness call out of.002. Add a leader to
    the control using the PropertyManager, and attach the leader to the .100 thickness
    dimension in the Right view.
