Adding GD&T information to SolidWorks 2023 Drawings

SolidWorks changed the way that Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing frames are created and applied in release 2023. It is far less intuitive than the earlier dialog box. I made this to show students in my Mechanical Design class how to use the new version to complete an introductory GD&T drawing.

Wouldn't it be easier to add a phantom line for the datum D aswell @ video 12 min mark? Or would that not comply with the some standard practice etc?

A phantom line can be used to treat two separate surfaces as a single datum surface, but it would not be standard for datum D. On the other hand, it would not be ambiguous.
