Summary - Offline question - on engineering standard scale
Hi,
Thanks to all who shared your opinions and gave suggestion.
Here is the summary of various responses and opinions.
1. On large amount, the usage of standard scale factors depends on the company and their drafting manual. 2. We have to use standard scales wherever possible. (be careful with difference between imperial and metric values) 3. Many of the engineers face this problem as drawing has been done in A0/A1/A2 size and taken print with A4/A3 size. This leads to illegible drawing and its entities. 4. Still there are few guys in shops who scale a drawing (even though we mention "DO NOT SCALE" in drawing) - Difficult situation, but if we cant make use of standard scale, let us go with non-recurring decimal scale (eg. avoid 2:3, 1:3, 1:6.....similar). Mention the scale used for the view.
As Neal said, one rule should supersede another rule and that is to provide the most legible drawing possible in order to avoid confusion and/or misinterpretation. Our ultimate goal is to provide a clear and legible drawing.
Thanks & Regards,
