i44troll,
I don't think anyone was dissing your method. It does establish a great starting point. I think we were all just working off your method to let DeltaCad figure the exact scale to fit the drawing size and then picking a 'standard' scale to actually use that's close to what DeltaCad had calculated.
I too prefer the 'thin' line weight, as apposed to the 'normal' line weight (on the screen) for my drawings. When printed, though, the 'normal' lines just look slightly darker and still print 'crisply', unlike the big difference represented on the screen, especially when zoomed in to a small area.
