In this Question Line video, Jason responds to questions regarding composite profile control. The following drawing and questions were submitted through our GD&T Questions submission page:

- Are the Datum structures in the two examples above valid for this drawing?
- If they are valid, wouldn’t both examples yield the same results when inspected?
In this video, Jason discusses a composite feature control frame controlling profile tolerance. Additional information regarding composite feature control frames can be found in this article: Composite vs Multiple Single Segment Tolerances.
