Apr 11, 2021 at 20:35 comment added r13 @Sam B The simple answer is because you are drawing a 2D diagram The construction and offset tolerance in each direction must be measured to/from a reference plane. If you draw a 3D diagram, then you'll need 3 reference lines to tie the subject in space to eliminate the confusion on where the indicated measurements start. By convention, a measurement always starts from the reference point defined by the reference axes.
Apr 11, 2021 at 19:52 comment added Sam B Kind of answers, I get it, you mean the two parallel planes should be referred to the centreline, but I don't get it how the other centreline comes into play ? the one that goes through the holes ? Usually we can choose only one reference line, but here you chose 2 !
