Default Don't upset the inspector

That was one of my ill fated trips down town. They rejected a stamped
plan because it wasn't the "scale" they wanted. (11 x 14, not the huge
paper everyone else uses) even though the whole project fit on it in
the standard 1/4" per foot. The woman actually told me they don't want
to look at "hand drawn" plans. I am not sure where she thinks the rest
of the plans actually come from.

That's simply a storage/retrieval issue -- they're likely set up to
handle C drawings. As the other respondent notes, the bulk of
everything comes from CAD systems and the engineers and architects have
the equipment to churn out drawings as easily as you can print common
letterhead.

I suspect that's not part of the actual law but simply an office
practice where you live. It's definitely not worth fighting a battle
over, however...
