Blueprints and Construction Drawings: A Universal Language 29
- Scale. Some consultant firms provide a location for the general scale of the drawing in the title
block, although most firms now omit the scale from the title block and place it on the sheet directly
below the title of each individual plan, view, or detail. Where more than one scale is used, as is
found on detail sheets, the space for indication of scale should read “as noted” or “as shown.” - The signature or initials of the drafter, checker, approving officer, and issuing officer, with the re-
spective dates, should be shown. - Drawing or sheet identification. Each sheet should be numbered in relation to the entire set of
drawings. Thus, if the set consists of ten sheets, each consecutive sheet is numbered 1 of 10,
2 of 10, and so on. - Other information as required.
