Blueprints are made with a plotter.

Numbering systems are governed by the AIA drawing code.

Print rooms are designated areas where drawings are reproduced.

Specifications are part of the construction document package.

A document handler manages the placement and storage of construction documents.

Specifications are a necessary part of construction documentation.

Every drawing set has specifications in some form.

The individual with final say on the project is the:

Dimension lines should be unbroken.

Dimension lines should be no closer than 3/8" to the object.

The preferred spacing of a dimension line away from an object is 1/2'.

Dimension lines should be spaced no closer than 3/8" from each other.

Foot & inch marks are preferred when indicating dimensions.

Centimeters are used when using the metric system.

When using the metric system, the scale & units must be indicated.

Detail drawings are generally dimensioned in inches.

Vertical dimensions should be indicated heavier than horizontal dimensions. (9-9)

Vertical dimensions are read from bottom to top.

Vertical dimensions are always placed to the left of the dimension line.

Horizontal dimension lines run left & right on the drawing.

Horizontal dimensions are always placed above the dimension line.

Horizontal dimensions are never used inside the floor plan.

Overall dimensions measure the distance of the entire floor plan.

Dimension lines should be thin and dark.

Arrowheads should be thin and light.

Always dimension to the center of walls.

If dimensioning edge-to-edge of doors or windows, dimensions are for actual door size.

Solid concrete walls are dimensioned center-to-center.

Always dimension to outside of brick or siding.

Dots shown on the end of a leader indicate only the "dot" area.

If stair sections are drawn, indicate the rise & run on the floor plan.

Door sizes should be shown on the floor plan or in a door schedule.

Window sizes should be shown on the floor plan or in a window schedule.

Schedules are preferred over indicated sizes on the drawing.

All rooms should be labeled with either a name or number or both. (9-27)

A North Arrow is not required on a floor plan.

Leader lines on sections should be drawn curved or at an angle.

Extension lines extend from the corner or edge of objects.

Dimension lines can extend beyond the extension lines.

On framed construction, overall dimensions are understood to be out-to-out of framing.

Notes should be placed only for specific major construction requirements.

It is always best to use a finish schedule over notations.

Always show general notes on plans.

A 2x4 stud is still indicated as a 2x4 on a metric drawing.

Pressure treated material should always be indicated by a note.

Notes on drawings should be very clear and concise.

Abbreviations should always be used to save time and space.

There are no standards for abbreviation use in drafting.

The typical process for numbering windows is A, B, C, etc.

Detail names or titles should be light and not overwhelm the remainder of the drawing.

Room names are not underlined.

Floor plans are the key drawings in the design set. (9-44)

Dimensions under 1'-0" are shown in inches as shown in the sketch.
