Most of the plans I see now are on 11x17 sized paper, occasionally, but more and more, I am seeing plans at nonstandard "engineering" scales.
It seems like it would be convenient if I had a ruler that had 1:8 and 1:16. Does such a scale exist?...If so where can I purchase it?
1) I know an architect's rule works for the 1:8 case.
2) A standard ruler or architect's scale does not work well for the 1:16 case, because the major divisions (and count) occur every sixteenth rather than every tenth.
Just an odd observation...
