How accurate are the unit conversions?

The `convert_button_unit` tool uses standardized industry ratios to ensure high precision between Ligne, mm, and inches.

How is the buttonhole length calculated?

The `calculate_buttonhole_dimensions` tool takes the button diameter in mm and adds a 3mm margin to account for thread thickness and fabric bulk.

Can I find recommended sizes for specific clothing parts?

Yes, using `get_button_by_application`, you can retrieve standard Ligne sizes and diameters for items like shirt cuffs or coat closures.
