Hello everyone!
Today I'm posting this message to find out if:
- In a plan with several sheets, is it possible (or allowed?) to have several sheet formats (A0, A1, A4...)?
Is this commonly done or not in your company?
Thank you and have a good day everyone!
This is done quite regularly for mechanically welded part plans for example or for assembly plans.
After that, if the plan has an assembly in the first sheet and in the following sheets the detail plans of all the parts that make up the assembly, you may quickly end up with a huge file.
Yes, quite possible : I do this regularly, the only downside is that the clues are only on the 1st page, unless I missed something!!

As a general rule, we avoid, except for plans with nomenclatures where the (or sheets) corresponding to the description of the elements may be of different size than that of the plan itself.
Hello
Indeed, in general we try to keep something homogeneous but mainly for practical reasons.
In absolution, there are no contraindications and it is quite possible on software.
What I do in general:
- I make each separate shot with or without different formats
- I save them all in PDF
- I have a small log that groups these PDFs into one
and that's work!
Hello
I use several sheets only for welded mechanics, one sheet for the cutting and dimensioning part of the weld, another sheet for machining rework. Classic parts are made with one file per plan, the plan number is also the name of the file.
But as was said before, it's doable, but depending on the number of sheets, the file may quickly gain weight.
Hello
in A3 A4 there is a mix of plans in the backrests while favoring the A4 portrait A3 landscape orientation
Because it's binders
then there is more tendency to make an A1 sheet with everything on it included nomenclature
than 2 A2 for workshop assembly displays
For the idea, the electrical plans are not in folio but on a single sheet per family grouping the boxes
For us, it is very common to "juggle" between several formats. In fact, he has the overall plans that are between A0 and A1, the detail plans often A4 to A2. The "Paper" plans are very provisable for the time of a presentation for the manufacture or directly for the realization. Archiving remains very computerized so it doesn't matter the format.
In my other professions, the electrical diagram remained in A3 (easy to print in large volumes) and clear enough for a realization. In addition, the plans were still given to customers (internal or external) in this format. All the cover pages, nomenclatures, ... were often in A4.
For the DDE, architecture,... The A0 or A1 is very common, see a little special formats of Type A0 elongated for some buildings.
Hello
I do this quite regularly, and when I want to put hints I use the block function and insert them on all the sheets.
Kind regards.

In terms of optical beam definition, we regularly use several pages.
From time to time, we use two formats but we don't have any problems with indicage, because we manage directly on the company's cartridge.
