Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The specified dimensions should be defined in relationship to the coating or plating process, as the thickness of the coating or plating will add to the part or feature's dimensions. This is important to ensure the part or feature still fits and functions properly after the coating or plating process. Reference tables may provide information on the thickness of different coatings or platings, but they should not be used to define the part's dimensions.
