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?
