I have let you know what tools I use [1] in the past and I wanted to let you know about another one that I had not added to the list but have used for some time. I use the CADCard. It is a great tool to help remember and figure out what I call the “Magic Numbers”.
What size do you make 3/32″ text on a 3″=1′-0″ scale file?
What dimscale do you use for 1/8″ plans?
What do all those Dim settings do and what do I change?
The CAD Card helps me land on one of the Magic Numbers. 24, 48, 96. I know that when I try to scale something or change scale that I will most likely land on one of the Magic Numbers.

Well they have just come out with a CADCard Jr.
Drawing Scale calcs are not longer a tough job. Text Sizes come easy. In engineering and architectural lunits.
I highly recommend this tool.
