Precision of Comparisons

Number

Tolerance factor of 0.000001.

In other words, if the difference between two reals is not greater than 0.000001* (maximum of the two values) then the values are considered to be equal. For example,

• (1.000001 GT 1) is FALSE as it considers 1.000001; and 1 to be equal;

• (1.000002 GT 1) is TRUE.

Position

Considered to be equal if within 0.5 mm of one another.

Direction or Orientation

Considered to be equal if values are within 0.005.
