Size
Size
captures generic size specifications that may not fit into specialized models such as radius or depth. It stores the measured value, tolerance, units, and classification (e.g., overall length, width, height) so you can interpret the scale of the component. The object links to geometry, notes, datums, and projection methods, providing the context needed for fit assessments or packaging calculations. It also records extraction confidence and whether the size is a key characteristic, supporting inspection planning. Having size information centralized simplifies quoting, stock planning, tooling selection, and change detection when a drawing’s overall proportions evolve, and it supports analytics that look for systemic shifts across product families.
