Steve,

Yes, your metric case sizes are correct. Those are the EIA case sizes and frequently show the maximum case height as well. For example:
3216-18 (3.2mm x 1.6mm x 1.8mm with the last number being the max height).


Other common EIA sizes are:
6032  (or 6032-28)
7343  (or 7343-31)
7343  (or 7343-43)
7361  (or 7367-37)

Usually those are physical dimensions of resistors, capacitors, etc. There's
one series of numbers using imperial dimensions (inches):

0201 - 0.02 x 0.01
0402 - 0.04 x 0.02
0603 - 0.06 x 0.03
0805 - 0.08 x 0.05
1206 - 0.12 x 0.06
1812 - 0.18 x 0.12
etc.

And another series using metric dimensions (mm):

6032 - 6.0 x 3.2
7343 - 7.3 x 4.3
etc.

Hmmm, now that I look at my own library parts, I'm not so sure about those
metric size parts. Can somebody else please confirm this?
