Hi Ed,
In that case it would be best to dimension that way.
Just saying

Dave,

I have dimensions in those places so I'm not following you.
So please don't "just say" but provide some useful information. Most of us are not drafters or machinists by trade so it would be more useful if you provided clear information rather than cryptic remarks. Most of us are here to learn, at least I am, but I can't learn anything from comments that don't provide any information. I'm assuming I didn't dimension it properly so tell me how I should have done it.
