Thank you for taking the time to explain the little marks--something skimmed over too fast in my drafting class. It makes a lot more sense now.

Dude! This helped me so much..I was trying to understand it by just reading the text book, but I still couldn't fully get it. This makes it much simpler to understand. Thanks! :-)

I'm having trouble understanding the different scaling systems. From what I've looked up, this is the imperial scaling system. Where can I find more information on scaling systems and how to read the other ones (like SI, or "unitless" or whatever). I looked up "Architects scale" on wikipedia and it's really confusing me. I don't get it when colons are used (ratios).

This is a GREAT video describing what ALL the marks on the architect scale represent. That should be the title of this video!
