Hi Steve,
As Susanne said, you can add/delete/move dimensions, change fonts etc.
Drawings can become cluttered with some cabinets hard to see on the floorplan (e.g. a stack of assorted cabinets). Also, the drawing may have a bulkhead obscuring the wall cabinets below it (for example) – in this case I tend to make the bulkhead fill transparent so you can see the cabinets below.
2020 has a very powerful option called Display Schemes whereby you can have a scheme that just shows floor cabinets, another that just shows tall cabinets and so on. When the design is showing too many dimensions (as sometimes happens) I tend to have 2 floorplan schemes – one that shows floor+tall and another that shows wall+tall. If you have any unused tabs along the bottom, these can be renamed and reconfigured to use the new display schemes.
Breaking it down like this allows you to use standard size paper (in our case A4). We only use A3 when we get the occasional request to show plans and elevations on the same sheet. You can do this using ‘layout templates’ which is another feature of 2020 but I found this awkward to use and it’s much easier to save the plans and elevations as images and drop them into a Word document wherever you want. Quick example attached.
I honestly do not see that you need the T120. I work with one company that has 24 2020 users and they rarely resort to A3 let alone A1. Just tell the designers to stop being lazy and to play with the Design Schemes to clean up the prints.
