Make the choice in sequence
Is the work full scale or half scale?
Choose full scale for full-size pattern and layout work. Choose half scale only for an intentionally reduced drafting or instructional workflow.
Which long-arm and short-arm dimensions are required?
Compare both the long-arm and short-arm dimensions; a single nominal length does not fully describe an L-square.
Which unit system is required?
Select the unit system used in the work and verify the exact calibration and arm dimensions in the variant table.
