Size
Size is the basic measurement object used throughout the extracted models, from dimensions and chamfers to bores and threads. It stores the numeric value, the unit, and a size type classifying the measurement as linear, angular, diameter, spherical diameter, width across flats, or square. An optional Tolerance records the permitted deviations, fit designation, or tolerance grade attached to the value. Having size information consistently structured simplifies quoting, stock planning, tooling selection, and change detection when a drawing’s proportions evolve, and it supports analytics that look for systemic shifts across product families.
