E. Scales
All graphics shall be created in actual (real world) size. Scaling of the final
product is only performed using plotting utilities. Standard border sheets and
quadrant borders will depend on the output plotted drawing considered, so
that the output will be in the proper proportion.
F. Fonts
The font style used will be the default vector font assigned by the system with
full upper and lower case alpha-numeric characters.
G. Text
Every design file should include text within the plotting limits which identify the
active design filename. Text size and placement shall be in accordance with
accepted drafting practices. In no instance, shall the plotted text height be
less than 1/8" high. The text sizes to be used are as follows:
General Notes & Associated Text
1/8" high
