Dimensions are absolute

[cosmasad]

If you want to put a note on an architectural drawing saying that the "Dimensions are Absolute" meaning that there should not be any deviation from them would the phrase be: ΟΙ ΔΙΑΣΤΑΣΕΙΣ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΑΠΟΛΥΤΕΣ?

Thank you.

Given that the term "απόλυτες διαστάσεις" is commonly used in architecture to refer to absolute dimensions (in contrast to relative dimensions), it might be a safer bet to use something more descriptive such as: Απαγορεύεται οποιαδήποτε απόκλιση από τις διαστάσεις

Albeit a bit stern, at least it's clearer.

Less sternly, yet still firmly put:
Οι διαστάσεις δεν επιδέχονται (την οποιαδήποτε) μεταβολή [αλλαγή / τροποποίηση]

Yes, cougr makes an important distinction, because "absolute dimension" can also mean a dimension taken from a datum or reference point, such as a corner of the building.
With that (ambiguity) in mind, I agree with both cougr’s and m_a_a_’s suggestions, which express the intended meaning more clearly.
