No matter the scale of the drawing, the dimensions are always _______

Uniform regardless of context
Exaggerated for clarity
True to size
Rounded for simplicity

The correct answer is: True to size

The dimensions on a drawing are always true to size, meaning they represent the exact measurements of the object being depicted regardless of the scale used. This accuracy is crucial in engineering and construction as it ensures that every component will fit properly in the real-world application. Scale drawings may appear larger or smaller due to the scale factor, but the actual dimensional information remains accurate and reliable. This precision helps ensure that millwrights and other professionals can interpret the drawings correctly and fabricate or install components to the specified measurements. Understanding that dimensions are true to size reinforces the importance of measuring accurately and using proper scaling techniques in both planning and execution.
