Usage: technical
2. of or relating to a crystal system characterized by two equal axes and one unequal axis at right angles
Usage: crystallography

Examples

• The dimetric projection shows the object with two axes equally foreshortened.
• Crystallographers identified the mineral as having a dimetric structure.
• The technical drawing used a dimetric view to display the mechanical part.
• The dimetric crystal system is intermediate between cubic and orthorhombic.
• Engineers often prefer dimetric drawings for their clarity in showing depth.
• The dimetric axes formed right angles in the crystal lattice.
