9. Any special instructions?
Please understand that we draft drawings for hundreds of clients, as such we have a default set of preferences that we use for all drawings. If there are specific preferences you have, for example: a specific dash line style (rounded cap vs. squared cap), specific shading conventions, locations of sheet and figures numbers, please communicate those to us. Providing examples of line styles or shading techniques is greatly encouraged.
What size of paper do you want, we default to A4 as a consideration for our clients who may be pursuing international protection.
