Thread: How to translate O.C. in spanish?

HI,

I am translating a technical drawing in CAD (dibujo técnico) and I am having troubles with O.C. , as in 6'' O.C. I think it means On centre(s), but I'm not quite sure. My guess would be "de centro a centro".
What do you think?

Maybe can try with: "del centro" or "desde el centro", but I do not know exactly if it works...

Hi Nabyl!
De centro a centro sounds OK to me

Hola ivanm,
I had put "desde el centro" in the first place, but I noticed some of the information was lost with this translation. Indeed, you could ask yourself "which center from?"
Whereas with "de centro a centro" you understand that it is from one centre to another (in the case scenario where you have two or more objects).
Do you agree?

I agree with you, In terms of technical drawing is well, I had taken a little more general
