One of our clients had a note to the effect that the drawing scale only applies to the CAD file and not any hard copies.
That would be sort of silly, as no one really 'scales' a cad file....do they?
Hard for you to say, I guess, seeing as you've not seen the files.
I pretty sure your being sarcastic because if you work around people I do, instead of changing a site plan INUNITS to feet they scale by 12, and it does not mater what it is detail, notes, a sheet completely done with notes, or detail drawn to size , ANYTHING, if they have to add 1 word or line everything gets exploded and viewport changed to 1/8" = 1'-0' and everything scaled.
I have had this conversation like 35 times.
DumbAss 1 to 10: Text height is 10"
Me: You mean at 1/8" = 1'-0' ?
DumbAss 1 to 10: Text height is 10" always
Me: So printed its 0.10416666666666666666666666666667" or ≈ 27/256"?
DumbAss 1 to 10: We set text height to 10"
Me: If you have a 11x17 paper and each letter is 10" high you would not get many letters to fit, and easier to define the height printed ....... ahh fu*k it.
