 Paper Sizes

ISO A series drawing sheet sizes

- The ISO (BS ISO 216:2007 )

most recommended paper sizes
for technical drawings are known
as A-FORMATS.. In the A-Format
series, the largest size is A0.

-The size of an A1 paper is half

the size of A0 while A2 is half the
size of A1 and so forth.
 Paper Size Selection
The choice of drawing sheet size should be
decided after taking into account the
following points:
the volume and complexity of the design;
the requirements of handling and filing;
the level of knowledge of the user;
the environment of use;
the requirements of computer aided design
(CAD);
the limitations of reduced-size reproductions.
