I like the CAP... Try to fax 3 times the dwg and shrink to 8x11 using
lower case (which most of time you have to do for the off shore vendor
you are using)...you will see the difference...Don't change and do not
assume everybody has computers (how many of them lost the dimensions and
missing vias when you using different format or even just different
version of software).  The time will come, but NOW is a bit (way) too
early.

My 2 cents
