Appreciation post: I swapped to a 0.3mm lead for my title blocks and it's way cleaner

After a month of messy borders, my boss in Tampa said the prints looked 'crisp' for the first time, so has anyone else found a specific lead size that fixed a drafting headache?

A 0.5mm lead is my go-to for most general line work.

Wait, your boss actually noticed the line weight on a title block? Mine still thinks PDFs are a type of font, so that's a win. Guess it's the little things that keep the paychecks coming, right?

My old drafting teacher would lose his mind over stuff like that, he'd check our border lines with a loupe. Once docked me a full letter grade because my hidden lines were a hair too light. Makes you wonder if bosses like that come from the same school of thought, you know?
