Spotted a scale issue in the park blueprint posted at the community center.

Last Tuesday, I stopped by the community center to vote. They had the proposed park plans on display. I took a closer look and saw that the dimensions for the basketball court didn't match the scale bar. It was off by a few feet, which could cause issues during construction. This reminded me of a time I messed up a floor plan for a client's garage. I had to redo the whole thing because I used the wrong unit setting. It's a good reminder to always verify scales before finalizing drawings. How do you guys handle quality checks on your drafts?

Scale errors pop up everywhere once you start looking for them. I see it all the time with online furniture assembly guides where the parts don't line up. It's like a lack of double checking has become normal in a lot of places. Makes you wonder what else gets built wrong because someone didn't verify the numbers.

Ugh, scale mistakes are the worst! I always print a test copy and measure it with a ruler before sending anything out.

Ever notice how screen zoom messes with your sense of scale? I've been burned by that before, lmao.

Tbh I once messed up a whole client file with a wrong scale too, it happens.
