Does anyone have a scale bar symbol they would be willing to share?

MY current boarders don't use scale bars but 1 client has asked for them

    Do you mean something like this:

    If so, what is your sheet (paper) size?

    Very tricky to be accurate in todays world of laser printers and auto-scaling. It may be accurate in the CAD file itself at 1:1, but almost all plotted/printed drawings are scaled to some extent.

    Your better solution is this on your drawings: DO NOT SCALE DRAWING
