		+
		+	Scale drawings are drawings that represent something at a size other than their full size. They can represent things at either a larger or a smaller scale than full size, depending on the size of the thing they are representing and the use to which the drawing will be put. The scale describes the ratio between a distance at full size, and the distance at the scale used that would be the same length.
		+
		+	= What are scale drawings used for? =

−	This may be because drawing the item at full size would be unmanageable, or would not easily fit on a single sheet of paper (such as a building), or alternatively because items need to be drawn larger than full size to adequately represent all the detail that needs to be communicated (such as a complex connection).	+	Scale drawings are used to illustrate items that it is not useful or convenient to draw at their actual size.

	It is important that the scale used is noted on the drawing. In addition, because of the ease of reproducing, printing and re-sizing drawings, it is important to note the original sheet size that the scale was drawn at, so for example A4, A3, A2, A1, A0, and so on.

		+	See Paper sizes and Technical drawing pen sizes for more information.
		+
		+	Where a single sheet includes a range of drawings with different scales, these should all be noted.

	In some cases, it may be appropriate to use more than one scale on a single drawing, for example, to show the elevation of land across across a significant distance. In this case, differences in elevation might be illustrated at a larger scale and a smaller scale used for horizontal distances. Here, the scale might be noted on the axes of the drawing, or actual distances shown on the axes.
