Do not place the Titleblock or border in Model Space. Do not scale the Titleblock or border, larger or smaller, than 1:1 Do not scale or rotate reference files. The only exception to this is when you are dealing with a consultant who uses a different scale of units or a different origin. For example, Architectural units and Civil units are different by a factor of 12. Do not “plot to fit” when plotting a drawing. Force the drawing to an accurate scale. Plot 1:1 or 2:1. Contractors and clients will most likely take scale measurements off your drawing. If the scale is off even a small amount it could be very costly, or dangerous. Do not draw on layer “0”. (LAYER 0 is default layer when you open a blank drawing) If you do, move it to the appropriate layer after it’s complete. Do not draw on the “defpoints” layer
