General failures

1) Hard to make differences between the narrow (thin) and wide (thick).

The line weight of the narrow line is twice of the wide! Recommended thickness: 0.35 for narrow
line, 0.7 for wide line.

There is no fade and strong lines, only narrow and wide!

2) Numbers

The dimensioning numbers are 3.5 mm heights! And of course written with standard letters.

3) Arrows

Here are the approx. dimensions of the arrows:
