One often overlooked aspect of detailed drawings is the power of consistent annotation. Imagine a complex section with numerous callouts and notes. Inconsistency in font size, leader style, or even the placement of text can quickly lead to visual clutter and confusion. Develop a standardized annotation system for your projects.
