Title: Apply dual dimensioning to a drawing.
Course: Drafting: Mechanical (21102-II) > Section: Performing Mechanical Drafting and Design Operations with Extensive Use of CADD

Application should include

- choosing two different units for dimension values
- converting one unit to another (e.g., inches to millimeters)
- showing consistent labeling of dual dimensions on a drawing (e.g., inches [millimeters] or inches/millimeters)
- using consistent decimal precision for the two units
- clearly noting the units used on the drawing.

Process/Skill Questions:

- Why would dual dimensions be required for a drawing?
- Inches and millimeters are the most common dual-dimensioned units. What other units of measurement might be used?
