In this area of the Drafting Zone website, Subscribers can communicate specific questions about mechanical
drafting standards and practices to the Zone's Technical Director, Gary Whitmire. Gary will review your question and respond accordingly, if possible. When Gary provides an answer to your question, you will
receive an email informing you that Gary's response has been posted to the website. In the event that he is unable to
answer a question, you will receive an email notification. As a rule of thumb, Gary will only provide responses to
questions that can be answered in fewer than 100 words. Although only Drafting Zone Subscribers are able to submit
questions, Guest Members can browse and search all questions and answers.

Q: Hi, regarding the previous question: don't allow scaling of title block. What is the reason that standard still available up to now? Because in manufacturing site, always use scale 1:1. When don't scale drawing, only 1 benefit: all title block is same size, dimstyle same. That's all. But disadvance is so much, especial in layout, in real manufacturing...Thanks a lot.
A: The reason why the title block cannot be adjusted in size is that when copies of the drawings are reduced in size, the title block needs to be readable. Other than that, some of our drafting standards are the way they are,... it's tradition. That is, "it has always been that way."
