<div dir="ltr">In the case of engineering drawings, "Datum" is
defined as a reference point, line, plane, or surface. In this
instance, the plural is "Datums." When GD&T (Geometric
Dimensioning and Tolerancing) notation is used, Datum Symbols
are used to call out how the part is to be jigged for
inspection, eliminating a lot of inconsistencies.
