A couple of questions....

 

1. Forty years ago when drawing on the board we always used all caps on our architectural drawings. I'm curious if that has changed with CAD, to using upper and lower case text. Any consensus?

 

2. What line weights do you typically use for your drawings? (not metric)

I am using .004 for dimensions, .008 for objects, .012 for bold lines, and .020 for borders. (3/32 for text.) Does that sound about right?

our office does use all caps for drawings, I have not run into many Architecturals that did not have all caps in it. I do not have our plot table here at home, so I cannot answer your second question

Hi

For first question in our company we used the upper case to be more readable and have a good presentation

And for second quotation all annotation (text, dimension, notes,) should be 3mm in the half size this in the metric and I think the same in English
