Coordinate Dimensions

Coordinate dimensions are measurements that provide the exact placement or location of features on a part, specified from a reference point, line, or surface known as a datum.

Common Axis

Refers to the shared axis around which components or features are symmetrical or rotate, promoting alignment.
