Imperial: ARCH C to E at 1" = 20'
Architectural inches, three layouts (ARCH C, D, E) with the viewport locked at 1 in = 20 ft, text and dimension styles for 1 in = 20 ft and 1 in = 40 ft.
Free to use and modify in your own projects, including commercial ones. The ZIP holds the template, a plot style table and a README; no add-in needed. Layer names, colours and styles are common practice, not a standard: check them against your office or client standard. Library terms (CXL-1.0)

Text and dimension styles
Defined in the template, so you do not have to set them up in every new drawing.
| Kind | Name | Settings |
|---|---|---|
| Text style | ANSI | simplex.shx, variable height |
| Text style | ANSI-0.125@240 | simplex.shx, height 30 in |
| Text style | ANSI-0.1875@240 | simplex.shx, height 45 in |
| Text style | ANSI-0.25@240 | simplex.shx, height 60 in |
| Text style | ANSI-0.125@480 | simplex.shx, height 60 in |
| Text style | ANSI-0.1875@480 | simplex.shx, height 90 in |
| Text style | ANSI-0.25@480 | simplex.shx, height 120 in |
| Dimension style | SITE@240 | Text 0.125 in, arrows 0.125 in, extension lines 0.0625 in beyond the dimension line and 0.0625 in from the object, dimension lines 0.38 in apart, overall scale 1:240 |
| Dimension style | SITE@480 | Text 0.125 in, arrows 0.125 in, extension lines 0.0625 in beyond the dimension line and 0.0625 in from the object, dimension lines 0.38 in apart, overall scale 1:480 |
The number before the @ sign is the printed text height in inches, the number after it the drawing scale: ANSI-0.125@48 prints 1/8 in high at 1/4 in = 1 ft (1:48), so it is 6 units high in the model.
