3 Basic rules

3.1

The actual size of the part shall be based on the dimension value indicated on the drawing, regardless of the size and the accuracy of the drawing.

3.2

If the dimensions in the drawing (including technical requirements and other notes) are expressed in mm, the unit symbol (or name) need not be marked; if other units are used, the corresponding unit symbol shall be indicated.

3.3

Unless otherwise stated, the dimensions of the part indicated on the drawing are the finished dimensions.

3.4

Each dimension of the part shall generally be marked only once on the figure that most clearly reflects the structure.

4 Dimension boundary line, dimension line and dimension value

4.1 Dimension boundary line

4.1.1

Dimension boundary lines, which shall be led out from the contour line, axis line or symmetrical centerline of the figure, or may be these lines (Figures 1 and 24), shall be drawn in thin solid lines.
