To allow for small losses of accuracy, the following tolerances are used.

Object |
Tolerance |
|---|---|
|
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. |
