Drawing Folding Standards
Drawing Folding Standards
(OP)
Does anyone knows that is there any standard for drawing folding process?.
Problem is we have HP designjet plotters and we use paper rolls to plot drawings. Rolls comes in 24 and 36 inch long. When we print for example D size (22x34) we can only get oversize drawings versus B, C and E sizes. But when you fold oversize drawings they don't fit in 8.5x11 folder binders. If they are printed in actual size, which we can't print that with using rolls, they will fit.
I am wondering is there any drawing folding standards around we can follow?
Thank you,

As for folding a D size, it is in Global DRM, para 6.24.1. For D size it is fairly simple:

Too bad you can't by a 22" roll, then there wouldn't be an issue.

Thought of getting a paper trimmer?

An ANSI B size is 11 x 17 which folds in half to 8.5 x 11.

That's the same diagram as the Global DRM folding guide. It probably comes from a MIL or DoD standard.

Ouch! Thanks for showing me what 388196 meant by oversize.

Sorry for misunderstanding the oversize drawing part of your post. But I agree with Timelord. All sheet sizes (except F) are multiples of a 8.5 X 11 A size, made by doubling the short side of the previous size--8.5 X 11, 11 X 17, 17 X 22, 22 X 34, 34 X 44.
Wait! I think I remember from an architecture class that architectural sizes are based on an A size that is 9 X 12. Are you in architecture?
