Reading plans

[jussi]

Having trouble understanding the plans to this flower stand. There seems to be 3 different numbers regarding the measurement of a piece. Can someone interpret.

num1
(num2, num3)

The first number is millimeters. There is actually a single number below that using the convention of a comma instead of a decimal point. So, 1682mm is 66.22inches, or 66,22 using the format of your drawing.

I see the metric and inch measurements, with a comma rather than a period for the decimal but I fail to see the third measurement.

They sure make something simple look complicated.

The comma threw me off. Thanks

its done by someone in a metric-first convention. Europe or AUstralia or Japan possibly.
the first number is millimeters.
The next number in parenthesis is Inch measurements, Its not two numbers, its inches and decimals. In Europe and most of the world the value of pi would be written not as 3.14159 but 3,14159; they use commas for decimals and don't use commas as thousands separators.

so 100 (3,94) Is 100 mm or 3.94 inches.
