What is the scale for a D-size drawing when I do the layout in model space at a 1:1 ratio? What is the appropriate notation in the title block?

I've recently started a new job and it's great. My new job consists of doing layouts and engineering systems. The one problem I'm having is there is no training what so ever and I'm the only technical person in the company. I am being asked to problem solve some conveyor issues...but I have...

Hi, I'm far from being an EE and I don't try to be one. I recently took a new position where I'm recommending machinery for warehouses and part of the job is recommending motors. I do have some help available to me through vendors, but I want to be able to speak reasonably intelligently with...
