Scale.
- Technical drawing can be scaled up or down as necessary as long as scaling is done proportionally with no distortions.
- Technical drawing must be large enough to see all necessary elements and details. If technical drawing is too small to see all necessary details, it is useless.
- Enlarged details (callouts) is an excellent way to bring attention to important details without scaling up entire drawing.
