::sigh:: AHHH BAD DRAWING ALERT!!!

One word of advice. Use ordinate dimensioning style when making something like that. Not one machinist will be able to make this part as effectively and as quickly for you if you use the dimension style you did.

Basically what ordinate dimensions are, is givng a X, and Y coordinate point to all centerrs of circles, center of arcs, and line end points.

As for the reference dimension. That is also a bad practice to dimension from outer diameter to outer diameter. It's nice for space considerations, but for machinig purposes, it's horrible. Dimension your circles to the center point always.
