- False: Correct, there are more than five different publications to establish drawing standards.
- 8.5×11” – Correct, this is a standard copier paper size
- Must be on page one – Correct, it may be on all pages but MUST be on page one; Can differ slightly between companies – Correct. Most companies have best practices adopted from years of experience; Pertains to all pages of the print – Correct. Information in the title block pertains to all pages of a print
