.0205" will show as .021" but will be converted to 0.52mm

3.41 = 8.65
Changes your decimal places if you need increased accuracy to meet your tolerance.

If you are doing a dimensional reference drawing, I have objections to dual dimensioning.
If you are producing a fabrication drawing, I would object strongly. A fabrication drawing shows your vendor or fabrication shop what part you are going to accept. Only one set of dimensions can be correct and official. The other set is for reference, only.

Some companies use parenthesis (), but is wrong, they are for reference.
