Mechanical specs have a way of looking precise while still being easy to misread.
While reviewing a set of dimensions pulled from an older design file, I noticed the units weren’t clearly documented. Some values only made sense if interpreted as millimeters.
Instead of guessing, I converted a few key measurements into centimeters to see if they aligned with the rest of the system constraints.
This wasn’t a permanent step or a tool choice — just a quick verification to avoid building on the wrong assumption.
A simple mm-to-cm conversion page (https://mmtocm.net) was enough to resolve the ambiguity and let me continue with confidence.
