Swedish term or phrase: dimensionsprogram
"XXXs sortiment av [metall] omfattar dimensioner och dimensionsprogram i produktgrupperna nedan:"

Followed by a list of various types of metal product they sell. What is a "dimensionsprogram" and how does it differ to the already mentioned "dimensioner" above?

English translation:dimension program
Explanation:
It's your context which will determine. But here is an interesting reference where the dimension program is a software tool used in production of their product line http://www.firestonemetal.com/tools/una-scan.php

My first impression was this had to do with a 'product program' with ranges of dimensions for various products. Does that require a separate answer?

Exactly what I meant, 'range of dimensions' in which your products or product categories are sold. This would be a 'Product program(me) for products and dimensions', or something similar. :-)

dimensioning programme


Explanation:
Ask the author.
My guess is that 'dimensioner' refers to available sizes, while 'dimensionsprogram' refers to possible future sizes.

Notes to answerer
Asker: You might be on to something with your second comment. If it were that then it merely refers to a table providing an overview of parts A, B, C, etc. and the dimensions/sizes they are available in?
