Error of rounding basic dimension
(OP)
Please ref to “NASA Engineering Drawing Standards Manual” (you may download it from here http://mscweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/543web/files/GSFC-X-67...). Page 90 last paragraph b. Rounding Basic Dimensions.
To convert basic dimensions of drawings from inches to millimeters, the converted value shall be rounded to three decimal places since this shall provide a maximum conversion error of 0.00002 inch.
I am interested to know where this figure 0.00002” comes from. Thanks for your help.

First we come to realization that "When you round to the nearest .001mm, the most you will "lose" due to the rounding process is .0005mm."
Then we convert 0.0005 mm to inches by dividing by 25.4.
Then we attach smiley face to it as a warning that the whole statement shouldn't be taken very seriously.
