and don’t drop it.

8.7.5 Drawings should not be scaled down instead, rearrange the drawing or split
the drawing into two drawings as needed.

8.7.6 The setting of all SEC border files are set at (Global Origin) GO=0,0. This
GO is defined at the left bottom corner of the border. Changes are not
allowed in the GO setting for all drawing types including scaled drawings.

8.7.7 The scale chosen for a drawing depends on the size of the drawing sheet
and the size of the object to be depicted. The scale shall be large enough to
permit easy and clear interpretation. Details that is too small for clear
dimensioning in the main view(s) shall be shown in a separate view to a
larger scale.

8.7.8 General drawings shall be made to a scale compatible with any anticipated
reduction of the drawing such that legibility is maintained.

8.7.9 The scale is the ratio of the linear dimension of an element of an object as
represented in the original drawing, to the real linear dimension of the same
element of the object itself.

8.7.10 Drawings may be produced to various scales, dependent upon the nature of
the drawing concerned. An enlargement scale is where the ratio is greater
than 1:1 Full size is indicated by 1 : 1 enlargement by X : 1 and reduction
by 1 : X Where it is necessary to use more than one scale on a drawing,
each scale shall be clearly identified.

facility. Creation of new drawings to indicate a change in an existing
facility will not be accepted. If, however, this is unavoidable for some
reasons such as being too crowded or major revision changes, then a new
sheet shall be added to the existing drawing.

8.8.4 New drawings that are created as a continuation of an existing design are
considered as continuation drawings of that design bearing the next

file of the complete set such as scope of work, the revision block of only
first sheet shall indicate the changes and revision number change. Complete
set shall be submitted.

8.8.10 The standard north arrow symbol shall be drawn in a prominent place in the
upper left side of the drawing for all plan view drawings. It shall be drawn
