You got a metric print. You inspect in inches.
The print came in millimetres. Your floor works in inches. So somebody sits with a calculator and converts every dimension and tolerance by hand — and hopes the rounding didn't eat the tolerance.
The problem nobody's serving
It shows up the moment you take work from a European or Asian customer. The print is in mm, your inspectors and your gauges are in inches, and every characteristic has to be converted before it can be checked. Done by hand it's slow, and it's easy to round a tolerance the wrong way and give away part of your margin.
How PlusMinus converts it
PlusMinus converts each dimension the way a machinist would. Decimal places follow the print plus one, so a three-place millimetre value becomes a four-place inch value and the precision survives. Tolerances convert with their nominal, not rounded off on their own. And a fit called out to ISO 286 — an H7 bore, say — gets expanded to its actual limits in inches, instead of leaving a code your floor has to look up.
A print your floor can read
What comes back is a ballooned print with the inch values in place, ready to hand straight to your floor, plus your inspection forms and your data. Nobody reaches for a calculator.
What if we can't upload drawings to the cloud?
Then don't. Linked Operations can build you an on-premise install that runs inside your own network. It's a custom build rather than a download, and it carries no compliance certification of its own. Tell us what your contract actually requires and we'll tell you straight whether we can meet it.
