DFMXpress converts units between English and metric as needed. For example, if you select English but validate a part with metric holes, DFMXpress converts the sizes listed in Standard English sizes to metric to compare to your part.
|
| Validation tolerance |
Specifies the tolerance used to compare part holes to standard hole sizes. For example, if the tolerance is 0.01 mm and a standard hole size is 0.15 mm, DFMXpress treats holes between 0.14 and 0.16 as valid.
Select mm for millimeters or in for inches. DFMXpress converts the value to the other unit system as needed. For example, if you select English and metric for Validation units and specify a tolerance of 0.01 mm, DFMXpress applies a tolerance of 0.00039 inches to English hole sizes.
